I hope you did your homework because I am doing a binder check today. Here is what I expect to see:
 * **//a title page//**
 * **//eight skill sheets (completed)//**
 * **//rough copies of an acrostic, a cinquain and two haikus, a limerick, two diamantes and a free verse.//**
 * **//an acrostic poem about yourself on the poetry bulletin board//**
 * **//a good copy (with colored illustration) of a cinquain, two haikus, a limerick, two diamantes and a free verse.//**
 * **//you have submitted a poem to the gallery of the collaboratory project//**

Today we are going to look at Music as Poetry. You will each be given a copy of the song Masters of War by Bob Dylan. You will work in pairs for this activity. After we have listened to the song, you will discuss the lyrics with your partner and find the different poetic devices that are used. You must place the copy of the song and the activity sheet in the "My Best" section of your binder. This will be recorded as this week's quiz.
