Ms. Nakada's Virtual Classroom: Day 26

Agenda:

Check-in

"It's Not Your Job" by Caitlyn Siehl

Prompts for NaPoWriMo Day #28

HW: RJ 15.2 on a poem. 

Read a poem and write a poem. 

Zoom class today from 1:00 - 1:30.

See you there. 

Check-in: What is a quality you don't feel like you have but that you really admire in a friend?  

• Read through the poem 3-4 times (preferably out loud) or listen to the poet reading it (link is above).  
• What feeling/tone do you get from the poem? 
• What is it about? 
• What poetic elements do you notice happening in this poem? 
• Annotate and make sense of this poem.

Prompts: Write about something you think the world thinks you should be but you see as "not your job" or write a birthday poem for me (today's my birthday). A poem is just about the best gift I can get!

From Winter Tangerine: "Write instructions for falling in love."

And from Writer's Digest: "For today’s prompt, write a massive poem. The poem itself could be massive in size and length. Or it could take on a massive problem, describe a supermassive black hole, or praise a massive bowl of ice cream covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Whatever you write, I hope it’s a massive success.

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."

Have a great day, y'all and I'll see you tomorrow~
