I'm sorry to miss you all! I'm at a funeral today and will not be in class. You will have today and Tuesday to complete these assignments. Please make sure you have all poems by Thursday, November 21st.
Today you will look at the poetic form of the ode. An ode is, basically, a "song" or poem of praise. What makes an ode great though is a sense of struggle. When you write your ode, try for an element of surprise or conflict within the poem.
Victor Jara's last poem. Read this poignant poem and write a poem of your own that reflects on a news event from your lifetime. Bring in a picture and/or news article to accompany this poem.
