Mentor Texts and Work Day

Hello Groups!

Let's watch some poems and performances.  What are these writers doing stylistically that you are able to then use in your own poems to tell your own authentic stories?  Speak with credibility and ask your classmates to comment as well. 

Take notes - you can't remember it all.  So...this way you can go back and implement as needed on your own time. Write. Write. Write.  There will be plenty of time to revise.  Exchange information with your group and keep each other accountable and coming to class.
