We wrote an acrostic poem (slide 2), went over what poetry is and why it is important (slide 3), I shared my favorite poem (slide 4), and then explained how to analyze poetry (slides 5-9 and in your Poetry Packet handed out in class). Finally, I gave you your homework assignment (with class work time) on slide 10. These are due tomorrow.
