Poetry Page
Starting in October students will receive a poetry packet every three weeks until the end of March. The assignment that accompanies each packet will require students to respond in a personal way to one of the many poems presented in the packet. (These dates may be changed. If they do, you will be notified.) The assignments will be listed with the packet on the right of this page.
Each assignment should be typed double spaced in 12 point font with one inch margins, and should be at lease one page in length. Each assignment should be titled with "Poetry Packet" and the assignment number. You may submit the assignments on-line using the submission form located at the bottom of this page.
