This weekend, you have the choice of doing one of two assignments for the poem "The Griesly Wife". Either write your own ballad or draw 5-6 scenes from the "The Griesly Wife" with one line from the poem per image. If you choose to write the ballad, make sure it is a story with a conflict and a climax. In addition, make sure it has a rhyme to it (aabb ccdd.../ abcb/ abab/ etc.) Also, it should consist of five stanzas that are four lines long. That means you will write 20 lines of poetry and no less. If you should have any questions about this, feel free to email me (my address is on the yellow course outline sheet which should be at the front of your binder).
On Tuesday, we will have our first spelling test, and I will be checking that your binders have five labelled dividers (Short Story, Novel, Grammar/Writing, Poetry, Myths). Have a good long weekend.
