Here comes my cricicism!

I would have to say I really enjoyed this free verse unit. The poems were fun to write and the ideas came very easily to me. It was MUCH easier to write something that didn't have to rhyme than something that had to rhyme. I loved being able to say what I wanted to say in my poem.

1. What did you do well?
I think I did well on making it sound like a poem more than a story. Ciara Brown said I had a very good poem [: thanks Ciara!

2. What would you work on for next time?
Well.. i honestly don't know what i should work on for next time. I am very satisfied with my poem

3. What lessons did you like the best? What would you want to do again? I liked doing the I remembers the best. I would like to work on poems again. Free-verse is my favorite (:

4. What would you change? What would you want to learn more about?
I really liked this unit. I don't know what i would change. I liked all of the activities we did. I liked that we had a few days to write a next draft. And I learned a lot. I have learned about free-verse every year so far so i don't really need to learn more.

Ahh.... man, more questions? I don't enjoy free verse poetry as much as other types of poetry. Given another chance to do it again I would change my topic. I wrote my poem at 3:00 on a Sunday morning so it wasn't exactly clear what I was trying to accomplish. Not that I was trying to accomplish anything but it wasn't clear what I was trying to say. Not many students take interest in The Irony Of The World. well, none that I know at least.

Overall i enjoyed the poetry unit. One thing i really feel I've done well on is cutting down the whole story to just a poem. The lesson I liked the most was how we got to write a story before we wrote a poem. I wouldn't change anything because overall I've done the best work i can and feel i used class time wisely. I really enjoyed doing poetry on what we want and doing free verse poetry. I hope we can do that again.

1. One thing i think i did well on was breaking it up into lines. Also i think i did well on making a visual picture in the readers mind.

2. One thing i should work on next time is "cutting to the bone". My poem is kind of long, and i think i have a few extra words that i don't need.

3. The lesson that i liked the best was the cutting to the bone lesson. i likes this lesson because it was really fun, going through and taking out words, and seeing if i still made sense. Something i would want to do again is write another free verse poem, and breaking it into lines and stanzas, because i thought it was really fun!

4. I wouldn't change anything. One thing i would like to learn more about is, how to brainstorm things to write about. I always get stuck, not knowing what to write about. It's like, i have a lot of memories, but when it comes down to writing them on paper, my mind completely goes blank!

what did i do well? hmmm...when I was thinking of what to say in my poem, the words just came to me. it was steady and i had no "writer's block" throughout the whole poem.next time i would work on focusing on one subject. i liked when we worked on cutting our poems down. i dont think id change anything on this subject, i liked pretty much everything! i think you covered almost everything on this subject.

hey again it's stephy. The thing that i think i did well in my poem was the details in the poetry and the way i told the free verse poem. another thing that i think i did well was the subject it might be funny to other people but babysitting my sisters is so funny and an experience to remember. That was not the last time i watched my sisters but, the last time i watched them alone.

I would work on the way i set up my poem and the topic. next time i would choose something funny even though the one i did was funny. i would also work on the editing on the first draft poem so the final draft would not be a problem to edit.

the lesson that i liked was the cut to the bone because after you got rid of the things you did not really need the poem sounded a lot better than when it had all of the other words that may not of made sense.

the thing that i would change would be the clutter of words in the poem out. i would also change the amount of details. i would put more details in and cut to the bone more.

i would like to now more about free verse poetry in general, just about the people who write it.
