English 11 Homework for Thursday and Friday Dec. 8: and onward to Wednesday.

Please bring items for the Food Bank Box tomorrow and over the next week. 

1. You are working on your Personal Poem: it is best to be writing for feeling, as E. E. Cummings says: You are yourself, a feeling being, and there is no-one like you. 

That is what writing poetry asks of you: to express you. Think of the things you know about yourself, or not: the things you can change, or the things you can't yet. 

Think back on the poems we've read. Is there something in them that reverberates for you.  Or/and look at the other aspects that you are developing, wishing, hoping... how you are changing in so many ways... Read Dusenbery's poem: and show yourself in your very own poem of your self.  

Put your phone down, go for a walk, marvel at being alive, and your uniqueness.
