L.A. - How We Express Ourselves
In this unit, we learned how to do the following:
- how to read and understand short stories and poetry
- write our own poetry collection
- participate in a writer's cafe; we got to present our story or poetry
We examined these poetry types:
- simile
- metaphor
- onomatopoeia
- haiku

To improve our writing, we looked at:
- plot diagram: initiating action, rising action, climax, fall action, resolution
