Hi, everyone! It was a pleasure meeting you all.
Tomorrow we will be going over word parts. This is critical to understanding how English works as the English language is derived from mostly Greek and Latin roots and affixes. We will go into further detail on this tomorrow. The video below features a very creative, fun rap about suffixes, prefixes, and roots. Read the lyrics, sing along. Have fun with word parts!
We will also begin our poetry unit for the 9 weeks. I am eager to show you the various types of poetry that is out there for us to enjoy. I have made a slide for you below that will inform you on different forms of poetry. Next week, you will write a poem about yourself so take into consideration what form of poem you would like to utilize.
What form of poetry is your favorite? What about your favorite poem? Poet? Personally, my favorite poet is Langston Hughes, although I do really enjoy the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe. :)
