An extension has been given for our poetry cafe.  We will be spending Monday and Tuesday's classes presenting either the poem you wrote or the poem you analyzed for your poetry project.  Be prepared to present on Monday as names will be drawn for the presentation order.  Bring a printed copy of the poem you are choosing to present and a mug if you want some hot chocolate or tea!  Make sure you prepare and practice the presentation of your poem as you will be assessed on your articulation, pronunciation, rhythm and expression.  During the remaining days of the week we will take part in some listening activities and engage in a revision of the conditional verb tense.
