The next two weeks will be filled with activity. You won't want to miss any of it! We continue our unit on figurative language by taking a close look at "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by the one and only William Shakespeare. Additionally, we will complete the pronoun unit by Friday, create more poetry, have one last Edmodo Journal Entry, and have our Poetry Slam.
- You should be using your Study Guide to review a little bit EVERY night for the final exam. We will be reviewing in class the last week of school, but you will need to be refreshing your memory between now and then.
- Try to learn at least two lines of your poem each night. Once you have it memorized, practice it completely once each day. Work on posture (stand up straight, shoulders back) and expression in your voice.
