 * Descriptive Writing Assignment: Who are you? If you had to describe yourself, what would you say? Click on this page for directions for the project. **You will be doing 2 pieces: one about yourself and one about someone you are close to.
 * //__Free Verse Project:__// For this assignment, we will read a set of 3 poems for Poetry Month. Below are the three poems I chose, some of which are my particular favorites. Next to each poem is your assignment.
 *  [|Dreams]: You will write your own poem entitled: "Dreams" just like Langston Hughes. You may write your poem in any format you would like as long as you focus on the theme of dreams.
 * [|Mother to Son] : You will write your own poem where one person is talking to another just like Hughes. For example, you may write one entitled, "Brother to Brother" or "Student to Teacher" about what you, as a student, would say to a teacher, or "Son to Father", etc...
 * [|Mirror] : You will write you own poem entitled "Mirror" just like Sylvia Plath. Think about what a mirror represents to you.
 * After you are done reading each poem and completing each assignment, you will create a collage of your favorite line from a poem from above or any other poem of your liking. You will look at the [|Free Verse Project] on Flicker for examples.
