For the past two days, I've had you tweak or at least exercise your more traditional English skills, including vocabulary and grammar. Yesterday (12/2) I asked you to consider how you have acquired language and how the text of that speech influences both your understanding and use of language. Today, I want you to PLAY with language. Please head to magneticpoetry.com and click on "play". Select a kit to begin your composition and then, craft a poem. Once you've completed your poem, please make sure to copy and paste it into a blog for today. Please experiment with at least two different kits and stretch yourself to compose something beyond "Roses are red, violets are blue..."
Have fun and channel your inner poet:)
