Today in class we continued to look at "Nikki Rosa" by annotating Giovanni's diction, imagery, and use or lack of punctuation and capitalization for effect. Your assignment is to write a narrative poem about your upbringing that reveals your character in the style of Giovanni's poem and Lauryn Hill's song. This typed and annotated original poem is due in class on Friday along with a 2 paragraph autobiographical introduction for your final poetry anthology.
Tonight's homework is to complete the worksheets on subject/verb agreement and verbs.
Have a great night!
