We have completed our study of Greek Mythology and will begin our final unit this year! Our focus for the final weeks is poetry. Students will receive a packet with instructions, examples, and formatting tips. The final product will be a Powerpoint poetry presentation. Each day we will introduce a few types of poems from all over the world. Be sure that you have completed the required poems each day. If you need help, please take advantage of the World of Poetry ppt shown below. Here's the schedule:
