**Discussing Poetry in Writing ...**
In a well-written essay on a Word Doc, respond to the following:

Choose one of the poems we have read so far and connect it to an experience in your own life that helped you appreciate the poem.

You should include at least: - quotes from the poem - an explanation of how your experience relates to the poem - an explanation of your interpretation of the poem's meaning and how it relates to your experience - an explanation of poetic elements in the poem such as rhyme scheme, metaphors ...

Prepare for writing the essay by completing your prewriting (choose your quotes, list the elements, make a chart of the connections ...). Please turn in your prewriting as well as your final essay.

Remember to include all the writing points we have talked about this year:
 * a hook and thesis
 * sentence variety
 * vocabulary variety
 * correct punctuation
 * voice and style
