Lesson 84

Students wrote a poetry quiz, shared their sound poems, and received their final assignment.

We discussed what an ODE really is, and looked at a variety of examples:

• A Classical ode
• Ode as a veiled critique, but still embodying praise
• Ode as a modern celebration of simple/humble things - as they are great
• Tips for writing an ode

Today's poem is an Ode. As per the links above, there is no specific expectation around the poem, other than it use poetic devices, praise something (or a group of related things), and be 20+ lines long (Odes can be VERY long pieces, so this is a minimum, not a maximum requirement). 

This last assignment will be up in Teams. 

Tomorrow, we will go over quizzes and final writing pieces, and students will share their Ode's. On Friday, we will have a final class - with goodies and games!
