Updates and Such - 11/29-12/3

1. Congratulations to Miranda and Stef, our two grand prize winners in the Magnetic Poetry Tournament of Champions! Congratulations, also, to our runners up, Conor and Paul! Big thank-yous to our judges, scorekeepers, announcers, and audience members. I think it is safe to say that a good time was had by all (in spite of the lockdown drill during first period)!

2. Good job so far on your perspective and personification poetry. I have seen evidence of some solid, thoughtful rough drafts. We'll start to finalize these pieces at the end of this week when we are in the computer lab.

3. Please remember to report to Room 438(A) on Thursday and Friday. In the lab, you will be setting up your blog pages, checking out our class blog page (this very item that you are perusing as we speak!), clicking on various awesome links (like www.magneticpoetry.com - SO MUCH FUN!), and finalizing a draft of EITHER a perspective OR a personification poem.

Questions? Comments? Concerns? You know where to find me!

See you in 215,
Ms. Strout
