In addition to examining the elements and expositional effectiveness of essays, we will be perusing, pondering, and penning poetry.

Part of our work will include assembling an interactive poetry notebook. It will be like a treasure box of terms, a rich resource from which to draw.
Oh, there’s another type of figurative language! Why was it a valuable tool in that sentence?
