Welcome back to Monday, everyone! Today we're going to start off by looking at Villanelles.

What better way to learn how to make a logical villanelle than to write one yourself? I'm going to pass out a worksheet for you to start writing your very own villanelle. After you finish it and I check you off, I'll pass out some white paper so you can make a pretty poster version to hang up in our classroom!
Enjoy! These are due today at the end of class!
