For today Do Now we discuss the time we did something that was wrong but we don’t feel guilty about it, and the discussion would be related to today's aim “How can we use the poem, “This is Just to Say” by William Carlos Williams as inspiration for our own poems?”. One of our classmates Gabriel shared that he once hit someone with a baseball but he didn’t feel guilty about it. The discussion would also be used as inspiration for when we are creating our poem. (I found this really helpful since I also did some things in the past that I don’t feel really guilty about and use it for inspiration when I creating my poem)
Your Turn Poem Challenge
In this activity our class read the poem “This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos. In the poem, the speaker confesses to having sneakily eaten plums from an icebox, later we got to break into breakout rooms to work with our teammates to create our own poems that are similar to “This Is Just To Say”. After five minutes we came back to discuss the poems our classmate created. One of our classmates Mariah, she and her group had created six poems and they shared it with the class. The challenge is considerate since this would be considered practicing writing poem which would help in the future.

Using Imagery In Poem
In this slide we talk through how we would use imagery in our poems. Few of the things we discussed about imagery are, Poems written with imagery may create an atmosphere that allows others to feel what we are feeling. Moreover we also discussed that when we use imagery in poems, poems can put us in touch with our own often buried or unexpected feelings. Following that our class watched a video that further explained in depth and gave examples about the use of imagery in poems.

Group Work
In today group work we are tasked with reading the poem “Fast Break” by Edward Hirsch. "Fast Break," a poem by Edward Hirsch, describes a single slow-motion action on a basketball court. After our team finishes reading and annotating we are asked to find two literary devices that Edward Hirsch uses in his poem. Examples of imagery devices that our classmates found are Imagery and figurative language. One of our classmates shared that the sentence “An underhand pass toward the other guard scissoring past a flat footed defender” is an imagery given that Edward uses the phrase “scissoring past” allowing the reader to imagine what is going on in the basketball court.
