New Instructions

Dear Students,

Hello! This is what I want you to do today:
1. First, write an ACROSTIC using the word "ESSAY" ( you can add an image if you want). You have 15 minutes to do this. Once you have finished, you have to read your classmates' acrostics and decide which acrostic you consider to be the best. Let me know your decision in my blog where it says "Vote here". The three most voted acrostics will get a prize!! ( I'm feeling generous today)

2. Now it's your time to write a "Persona Poem"

The example that you are going to read was taken from:

http://www.uoregon.edu/~leslieob/bio-poem.html .

Visit this site to learn how to write a "Persona Poem". Use the Template that is provided for you there.

Sample Persona-Poem



Kate.....

tall, energetic, happy, intelligent

mother (daughter, friend, etc.) of Johny

who loves music, books and fresh air

who is afraid of President Bush, spiders and heights

who wants to see Latin America, the end of poverty and summer

resident of this moment

...Thompson.


3.- Don't forget to read your Classmates' "Persona Poems" and send comments. If you say " I think your poem is beautiful" You have to say WHY ! give reasons. Indicate whether or not you agree with the ideas presented in the poems.

4. I will publish my "Persona Poem " during the class. Read it and IF you want you can send me a comment. ( this is an optional activity)

5. Finally, remember that next week you have to hand in your second argumentative essay. I'm still waiting for some of you to let me know what your topic will be!


Take care and have a GrEat DAy!!!

Cheers!!!!!
