Poetry Island Dramas

It was the best day yet, with drama performances in all four class periods. Coming into today’s voting there were still two poets for each class period left on the island.

1st Period
Edward Lear
Edgar Allan Poe

2nd Period
Walt Whitman
E. E. Cummings

3rd Period
Emily Dickinson
E. E. Cummings

4th Period
Edgar Allen Poe
Emily Dickinson

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.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
