We are at the end of Round 1. I've enjoyed reading your responses, but can't wait to see what happens as the competition heightens!
Read Game 8 poems. Then answer each question. Remember to
explain WHY you chose the winner based on poet's craft (rhyme, line
breaks, punctuation, simile/metaphor, word choice, repetition)and your
personal connection to the meaning.
Your post needs to include the following:
1. What is the meaning of the first poem? (Summarize in one sentence)
2. What is the meaning of the second poem? (Summarize in one sentence)
3. Based on the criteria, which poem did you choose and WHY?
***I still notice some of us need to correctly capitalize the title
of the poems. However, many of us responded with detail on Part 3. Keep up the good work!
