1. DO NOW What has been your favorite poem that we have read so far? Why? You may look in your packet.

2. Repetition Beware of ineffective repetition: a word repeated in too-close proximity for no purpose or effect and that sounds awkward.

3. Example of Ineffective Repetition Before my baby daughter was born, I asked my sister, whose baby was born before mine, Will my baby feel as good to pet as my dog? My sister said, she’d feel better to pet. - “Out of Touch, Version 1” by Nancie Atwell Revised: Before Anne was born I asked my sister, already a mother, Will the baby feel as good to pet As my dog? Better, she said. - “Out of Touch, Version 2” by Nancie Atwell

4. Use effective repetition to stress an important word, phrase, idea, or theme; to move a poem; to build a poem’s momentum. When you revise, read your poem with your ears and listen for its rhythms.

5. Example Poems “Purple Shoes” “Did You Ever? (For Mary Oliver)”

6. Toolbox Add “Repetition” (with the definition and example) to the poetic devices section of your toolbox.

7. Mini-Assessment Do not write on the quiz. Place your answer sheet in the letter trays and make a pile of the quizzes. When finished, continue to work on your poetry. Try a poem with repetition? Remember, two new poems (15 lines each) with “tools” noted are due tomorrow- BE SPECIFIC when describing the tools! Don’t forget about your Week 2 Buddy Book Reading Goal for tomorrow, as well.
