April+23+-27

U.S. Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize Winner, Kay Ryan is at Lewis and Clark Library Tuesday April 24 at 7:00pm. She is very funny so I encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity. Students get 10pts extra credit for attending.

Slam poetry was a wonderful success! Students wrote a wide range of poems, scary, humorous, inspiring, dramatic, protest, and more. They performed well and got terrific feedback from their peers. All are encouraged to attend and many will be performing at Poetry on Fire Monday April 30 for extra credit. Lewis and Clark Library 6:30 to register. Performances 7:00pm.

Monday we will be finishing poetry performances and doing binder checks. Tuesday and Wednesday students will be revising their I-search and posting them to Moodle. Then they will read and comment on each other’s papers. Thursday: Lab Friday Latin Roots Quiz
