PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR BINDER AND TWO NOTEBOOKS. THIS MONDAY YOU WILL HAVE A CLASSROOM NOTEBOOK ENTRY ON THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE BOARD.
Honors
-Study guide over "Twenty Questions for Robbie Dunkle"
-Discussion
HOMEWORK FOR TUESDAY, September 1: After spending some time with Scala's chapbook, we are ready to write an outline for our own. Write twenty questions for _____________. Who or what are you going to write twenty questions for? Remember, your questions should be for someone or something that can't quite answer you back.
Today's discussions were incredible. I was impressed with your ability to analyze an entire chapbook of poetry. We talked about form, narrative, confession, repetition, intent, and theme (just to name a few things).
CP
-We started a study guide, but due to grade level meetings and the pep rally, class was cut short. We will finish the study guide on Monday and discuss the book.
About Me
- Miss Sullivan
- I am a poet and teacher who lives in Akron, Ohio. I teach English at Barberton High School where I also advise the student newspaper and the writers' club. Recently, I took over the Department Head of English position. I consider myself just as much a writer as I am a teacher. I graduated from the NEOMFA program in the spring of 2008. Work of mine is published or forthcoming in American Poetry Journal, Barn Owl Review, Diagram, Harpur Palate, JAAM, The Laurel Review, New York Quarterly, and Nimrod, among others. Recently, I was a semi-finalist for the Black Lawrence Press Chapbook Competition. In 2007, I was a semi-finalist for The Pablo Neruda Prize for Poetry. In 2005 I won first place in poetry for the Best Of Ohio Writer's competition. I have spent many summers backpacking through Europe. I usually get stuck in County Clare, Ireland, my favorite place in this world. I have two pugs, Telemachus and Edith; they are my heroes.
