Poetry is dead... well, not really

As October is slowly moving forward and the leaves are falling, we are wrapping up our poetry unit in English 8. We have written our poetry, analyzed lyrics and poems, and had some great discussions concerning a nonsensical poem, "Jabberwocky." As we move into our next unit, short stories, we will add to our understanding of literary elements and poetic devices.

Just for fun, a great clip of the Mad Hatter reciting "Jabberwocky" in Alice in Wonderland.
