1. Poetry Breakdown-Every few days I will give you guys a poem. Here is your newest poem. I want you to break the poem down, stanza by stanza, and explain what it is actually saying. MAKE SURE YOU TELL ME about the figurative language the poem uses! Email me your response (jeremynorman@pamlicoschools.org)

2. Short Story-Here is the actual story. Today you need to make sure you have finished reading your story. You are to then write an objective summary of the entire story. Remember, your summary should include the beginning, the middle, and the end, and NO opinion. Your summary needs to go in your new Google doc.
