3-6 - Tuesday Night Homework!

Compete part II of your World War I Poetry packet. This section is the constructed response. You may type your ENTIRE response on the website, however I encourage you to write it by hand into your packet. Use my sentence as a sample introduction sentence.

Introduction: I think the poetry of World War I reflects the horrific conditions of the war.

Example of a detail:

In the poem, "How to Die," the author states, "The lads go west with sobs and curses." This means soldiers were extremely upset to go to war on the Western Front most likely because they feared death.

This constructed response is a great chance for you to 'show off' what you have learned about World War I and compare it to these great poems we are reading. Look for connections between the trench warfare, weapons and technology that we learned in class and what the authors write about in these poems. You may be surprised at the connections you make! Good luck.

3-5 Monday Night Homework!

Hey guys,

New Week, new work! Glad to see all the posts last week, lets keep it up!

TONIGHT:

Write a poem that is at least 6 lines! Use the descriptive words form the Lost Battalion. Write as much as you can! The more the better. The poem does not have to rhyme, but do try and capture the feelings, emotions and tragedy of the war in your own creative way.

I can't wait to read them!
