Gwendolyn Brooks is Real Cool

We might not be real cool, but here is our attempt at emulating the poem "We Real Cool" with our own messages.  Feel free to let us know your thoughts.

Extended Metaphor

It's been a busy week for us.  After creating our own odes, we are now creating poems using extended metaphors similar those used by Julio Noboa Polanco in his poem "Identity."  Please enjoy!

Odes: an expression of celebration and praise

Aloha!  This week we've been learning about odes.  Using metaphors, similes, and imagery, we've created odes celebrating and praising people we love, things we admire, or things we love to do.  Please enjoy our odes.
