Poetry! Yeah!

Today, Thursday, March 4, we start our unit on POETRY! Get pumped!

At the end of this unit, we'll do a choose-your-own-assessment activity, so be prepared! You'll get to choose between a big unit test, an analytical paper, and a project (TBD), so you can play to your personal strengths as a student.

Here are a few resources to help you as we go through this unit. I'll post helpful links throughout the unit, so keep checking back.
