Happy Tuesday to all! We are about to embark on a set of poems this week from one of the greatest poets of all time: Robert Frost. Robert Frost was the poet laureate of the United States at one point. This means he is appointed as the official poet of the land, and is requested to both write for and speak at major events around the country. Kind of a big deal... But here's more, if you want to know: Kind of amazing, right? I know. So we are going to be reading his poem called "The Pasture" today. Along with it, we are going to be writing our own poem following the same structure as Robert Frost. Like the video said, Frost was a stickler for structure! So pay attention to the directions! Our last activity today involves Homonyms. We are going to start picking up some grammar and usage again, and we are going to be focusing mostly on the usage part now. We went over capitalization, we do spelling, we went over punctuation, but how do we know if we are using the words properly? We're going to be focusing on homonym-type words, and weather or not they are being used correctly in the sentence. If you don't finish this in class today, the Usage: Accept-a lot worksheet.
