Friday, November 27th - Absurd Nonsense

1) Poetic Devices Review Quiz and creative journal check

2) Some of my most favourite poems make no sense at all. Or do they?

The Emperor of Ice Cream by Wallace Stevens

Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol

3) Journal Work - 20 Little Poetry Projects (paper handout) or Absurdist Story (write a story that, much like a dream or stream of concious writing, makes sense mostly on an intuitive level).

Did you know that the absurd can make you smarter? Read this article and then check out the Kafka story.


HOMEWORK - Bring in a bunch of your favourite music lyrics on Monday. Catch up on your journal work.
Coming Soon - An in-depth study of a poem of your picking...
