//Intro poem for the day...Edgar Alan Poe's **[|The Raven]**. Or see this [|video version].

Lots to do today, kiddies! While you're getting settled, I'd like you to get out your soundtrack assignments and Venn diagrams to be collected. Make sure all the names are on them.

While I collect these, please go to the discussion tab on the// //Flowers for Algernon// //page. There is a journal entry I would like you to complete. A mark for this will be added to your Venn diagram.

When your journal entry is done, feel free to read what others have written. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Make you opinions known.

If you have time at the end, please begin this assignment. We will continue it tomorrow.



Good Luck! Have Fun! Tomorrow we will begin with a great poem by [|Robert Service].

Here is our first poetry writing assignment, an [|acrostic poem]. I will hand out the sheet **Who Am I?** for you to complete. This will outline the main topic of your poem -- **YOU!**//
