We began class with a writer's workshop on line and stanza breaks. We discussed reasons for breaking lines and using capitalization and/or punctuation, and then students were encouraged to re-visit their poem about a thing, to play with lines and stanzas. I asked students who were interested in feedback to leave poems for me to peruse.
We then launched into Chapter Two of Lord of the Flies, with a focus on the influences of order, organization, structure and society vs. those of disorder, chaos, fear, fun and savagery. Students were asked to consider evidence of both, and to record any other thoughts/questions/musings on their POT. Please bring POT next class.
