​Today students finished up their group poetic analyses. Next we looked at the idea of symbolism in poetry- two types of symbolism we discussed were based on objects and colors. Finally, student were encouraged to create symbolic poetry of their own, using the two examples from today's class as inspiration. Students were instructed to choose one or the other of today's poems, copy over the first line only, and then write the rest of a poem from their own imagination. If students used "The Orange" poem, then in the first line their comparison should have been something other than an orange.

*see documents section for a copy of both poems.
