English 9 SPECTRUM
We read the short story, "The Lie", and took a look at the situational and dramatic irony within. After, we started working on the draft for a haiku about the irony in this story. Keep in mind that I will be collecting journals near the end of next week, or the week after for a midpoint journal check.

Haiku example:
Haikus are easy

Homework:
Complete a good copy of your haiku. The haiku must:
1. Demonstrate the irony in "The Lie".
2. Be on 8.5" by 8.5" paper.
3. MAKE IT PRETTY (or ugly) - Put some design on it; a graphic that reveals the irony, or at least supports the theme of the poem.
