Updated "I Prefer" & "The Language of ...": What Do I Notice?

Poem due on first day back from break

Attached is the work we did in class on Friday, Dec. 19, 2014, plus the assignment that will be due on our first day back in class after Winter Break (time will be given on Friday to work on the poem).
Students should examine the model poems "I Prefer" and "The Language of ..." and write down everything that notice about them, including the words chosen and the poetic devices used.
Students will then write their own "I Prefer" poem, which will be posted on the wall (and some of which may be posted online)!
 FYI: I have added a list at the end of the file of most of the things that the students should have noticed.
