Last of the Poetry Homework for Hum 8

This will be the last of your Humanities 8 homework:  (I know how sad that must make you!)

By now - everyone should have posted their definition poems and you should have commented on 2 of your peers' definition poems.  

Poetry booklet - Continue with your glossing (Poetry analysis like we did in class with "The Universal Soldier" and "One Tin Soldier"), and also try to figure out the tone and message of the poet.  Remember to resist the urge to look up the meaning of the poem online and use your "noggin" *(brain power).  But, do look up words or other references (eg. to history or literature) you might know.

Complete the glossing for our poems - and have them in class Monday:

• "I'm a Stranger Here"
• "In the Year 2525"
• "Signs, Signs"
• "High Heels"

***Also make sure to have a printed copy of your poem for our Poetry Slam on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I am hoping we will have some time to rehearse***

Lastly - For Monday - make sure you have finished all the other work (see earlier posts) and I will be collecting:

• "With His Venom" 

PS At the moment there may still be a few of you needing to come in to school on "I" completion day if your past work is not done.
