Having brainstormed at your tables, choose one idea from your brainstorming activity to develop a 6-8 sentence paragraph that shows one version of your first draft.
Before you do this, explore and take notes on at least 2 of the links below to examine the Drafting stage of the Writing Process.
What is the Drafting Stage?
How to develop a Draft?
Steps in the Drafting Stage
Audio Resource on Tips in Drafting
Use your notes from the resources above to prepare your first draft paragraph.
Having written your paragraph and having placed a topic at the top so your fellow bloggers know what you are writing about, read at least two other original blogs and as usual and respond to the students' drafts by making suggestions for improving.
Happy Blogging!

Poetry Analysis using Poetic Term/Devices from Wordle Period 2
Poem #1 "On Living" by Nazim Hikmet
Building on your table discussion of the poem, in which you were able to annotate for the poet's use of the chosen device, use your discussion as well as your annotated notes to address the question:
The author communicates the message of this poem in a very effective way!
In your blog response, you may agree or disagree, but you must support your position using at least two pieces of textual evidence.
Your response must also include how the author uses a specific device to communicate this message (you must first identify the message of the poem.)
YOU MUST ALSO CITE WHICH POEM YOU ARE USING SO THAT YOUR FELLOW BLOGGERS WILL BE ABLE TO RESPOND EFFECTIVELY.
YOUR ORIGINAL BLOG RESPONSE MUST BE AT LEAST 6-8 SENTENCES IN LENGTH.
AS USUAL, TO COMPLETE YOUR BLOG FOR ASSESSMENT, YOU MUST RESPOND TO ANOTHER CLASSMATE'S ORIGINAL BLOG BY BUILDING ON THE ARGUMENT OR BY DISAGREEING, BUT PROVIDING EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR COUNTERARGUMENTS.
Happy Blogging!
