Enjoy your short hike through American Poetry. You’ll find many pathways at Bartleby.com (http://www.bartleby.com/verse) and The Poetry Foundation (http://poetryfoundation.org). As you complete your Poetry Log, you may stop at any time and work on your Poetry Journal. The latter will serve as pre-writing for your Poetry Analysis.

We’ll spend the Final Period publishing and perusing each others’ portfolios.

 1. Turn in your physical portfolio.  Smile.  Sigh.

2. Start up (or continue starting up) your student blog.  Be patient with the machines.

3. Publish your digital porfolio (at least a fragment of it).

4. Wander around your peers’ blogs.  Post positive comments on strengths or qualities you notice.  Ask sincere questions.

Enjoy!

Some of you are done with your portfolios.  Congrats.  Turn them in to me and smile!

Some of you are still working.  Keep it up today!  Ask me questions!  Pin me down for a conference!

Once you have completed your portfolio, it is time to publish it.  Begin this process by clicking the START UP button above.  All should be made clear there.  By the end of Monday (for B-dayers) or Tuesday (or A-dayers), everyone should have a paper portfolio in and digital one published.  Speaking of digital portfolios, take a look at Mikaila’s.
