English 10H Extra Credit and other due dates

10th Grade Honors English students and parents. March 8th and 11th is the date of our figurative language and poetry test. Be ready!!

Also, March 14th and 15th - POETIC PANTHEON group projects are due!!

This term, you have an opportunity for extra credit. You can get a little bit of extra credit for visiting this site:  http://thepoetsgarret.com/list.html and writing a poem in one of these forms: Villanelle, ZaniLa Rhyme, Ya Du, Ropalic, Rondeau, Rubaiyat, Go Vat, Cavatina, Triolet, Aubade. Then, explain the trouble you had writing it and your process and what you tried to "do" in the poem.

You can get even more extra credit for reading a Shakespeare play that you have never read before and writing a 1 1/2 to 2 page essay on it in MLA format.

Both of these extra credit assignments are due by March 15th. NO EXCEPTIONS! If you want some insurance, do one of these assignments. Your extra credit points will be based on how good of a job you do on either assignment. So, try hard or don't expect big results.

Thanks!
