Absent on Friday? Make sure to look over Friday's in-class slides (13-18): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/131zzz6-aVdAJOBclgUYM9_iLcuh9be6Q/edit#slide=id.p35

Directions:

As I mentioned last week, the point of an ode is to raise something ordinary and common to the realm of poetry. We looked at an example of an ode to an onion and practiced writing an ode to a stapler. Today, you’ll pick your own object from your backpack and sing its praises.

Create a new logbook page: "Original Ode"

Choose an object at random from your backpack, The more common and ordinary, the better (think eraser, earbuds, glasses, gum).

In your logbook:

1. DESCRIBE HOW IT ENGAGES THE FIVE SENSES

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE?

WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE

2. DESCRIBE HOW IT IS USED. BE CREATIVE!

3. DESCRBE WHAT IT MIGHT REPRESENT OR SYMBOLIZE.

4. THEN, WRITE AT LEAST THREE LINES OF POETRY ABOUT THAT OBJECT.

I'll be coming around to stamp your logbooks first thing on Tuesday. Remember, these must be your own original words. It's okay if it's not perfect.
