Students will be learning the villanelle poetry form. An example poem will be provided with an opportunity for reflection.  The concepts of repetition, quatrain, tercet, rhyme scheme and passion will be covered.  Students will reflect on the example poem entitled If I Could Tell You by WH Auden.  This poem was written after WWII and focuses on the uncertainty of the world during this time period.  We will reflect on the style and content of this poem.  

We will be utilizing Canvas and Google Classroom. Students will share out poetry and receive feedback to make improvements upon their poetry.  
 
Poems will be shared out publicly in a fun, safe environment.  A format for feedback will be provided to students and expectations for appropriate etiquette will be expected.  

I will be writing with students and actively engaging in the learning process.  I ask that students be active in the learning and raise their hands to ask questions and provide insight.  

Students are required to come to the class booming with creativity and a love for writing.  We are going to bring passion to life.  Can't wait to see you.
