Hey there!  Today in class we reviewed the poetic terms from yesterday and added a few more (stanzas and the purposes of stanza breaks, onomatopoeia, narrative poetry, and assonance (AKA vowel rhyme).  We listened to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and worked through the lyrics of "Lose Yourself" (we'll listen to that one tomorrow). HOMEWORK FOR TOMORROW:  You are to write TWO terrific paragraphs (narrative, descriptive or explanatory/expository) for tomorrow, and edit them using the rubric we made up in class.  The assignment sheet is attached to this note. NOTE:  You will have a Senteo test on Friday to cover the poetry terms (figurative language) we have learned so far.
