We will be writing on Jan 30th at 8:30am in Portable 14. If the location changes, I will let my students know far in advance.
In any case, we reviewed what we had done in the Poetry Unit so far - the having to read three poems before Jan 24th, choosing a poet from the Canadian Poets List. The due dates are on the right hand side of the blog and classroom, too.
After that, we read from Walt Witman and Denis Lee, a famous Canadian Poet. We read from his book Garbage Delight, a text from the Teaching Poetry k-12 course I had to do "Back in the day".
Finally, we got the poems "On Samsonite assembly line" and "Dignity of Labour" as the poems to study for homework.
After that, we'll chat about Slam Poetry.
