Students need to share their 3 poems with hmfeke@cbe.ab.ca in order for them to be marked. FREE VERSE, SOCIAL COMMENTARY & PARODY. It would be awesome if you could also share a video of you speaking one of your poems to me! I will be looking forward to your dramatic readings!
Book Talk projects should be shared with me digitally, if you have not already done so. Even if this is a video of you talking about your book, or a picture of what you have created, that would be great. Read on!
