Each class had 20 minutes or longer to get started on their final essay assignment. Everyone took out their W-R’s notebook notes, the assignment sheet and the rubric to review how their essay needed to be written. This gave everyone plenty of time to get started in class in case they had any questions about the assignment before completing it this weekend. Everyone was reminded that this is a 90 point writing assignment and that they need to use all of the resources provided to make sure they are doing their best work.

Tomorrow we will reveal the one surviving poet for each class period and celebrate with treats and poetry fun.
