This is due BEFORE class tomorrow (portal closes at the start of class).Today, we read a selection of two poems and voted on the "best." Clearly, "best" is a very subjective term, and so here is your space to justify your choice. Select your favorite of the poems and compose a BRIEF précis that illuminates the basis of your decision. This FIRST poetry précis is due by THIS Sunday night, but moving forward, these will be due each night that we review poems (only one précis for any of the poems read in a single day). Your poetry precis does not have to be the winning poem of the day. You may select your favorite of any that we cover in a day. Some days, we will read only two poems; others, we may read up to SIX! Please follow the instructions for writing a poetry précis found on Google Classroom. The graphic organizer you used in class will be helpful to you here.
