Greek Myths 4th six weeks (5 points)

We have been reading a few stories from Greek mythology. Go to this site http://www.mythweb.com/gods/index.html and click on one of the Greek gods or goddesses. Take notes on a separate sheet of paper about what you read. Come back to the blog and write a summary of the information you found. Your summary should be AT LEAST one paragraph long.

It's Poetic (5 points - 3rd six weeks)

We have been talking about poetry in class. We discussed that most songs are poems. The letters beside each line in the poem below map out the rhyme scheme.

I'm a Little Teapot (author unknown)

I'm a little teapot ------------A
Short and stout--------------B
Here is my handle-----------C
Here is my spout------------B

When I get all steamed up---A
Hear me shout--------------B
"Tip me over--------------- C
and pour me out!" ---------- B

Go to the site www.lyricsondemand.com and search for a song that you like. Use your mouse to highlight two of the stanzas from your poem. Come back to the blog and right click to paste the words you copied into the comment box. Like I did above with "I'm a Little Teapot," add the rhyme scheme to both stanzas.
