SQUEEEEEEEE!

The Assignment Write, draw, analyze the poem in some way that is worthy of a grade; you are literally determining your grade with what you decide to present to me. :) Bwahahahahahahaha! Seriously, though, this is a grade and needs to show that you put in effort as such. Think themes, symbolism, all the Modernism traits we’ve gone over…make something that shows you not only have a brain but have also used it.
