Spring equinox photo essay walk about: It’s hard to believe it’s already time for the next set of photos. It’s a bit early but we’ll be on break when the actual equinox takes place so here we are! Take one photo that you feel represents the death of winter and then take one photo that you feel represents the birth of spring. You are welcome to use filters if you wish. Email me both images by the end of class: shelley.dube@burnabyschools.ca

NAME POEM:

Do you like your name? Do you ever wonder about the meaning of your name? Are there interesting stories behind your name? Have you ever asked your parents how they chose your name? How important was it to them and is it to you? Do you believe your name brings you a certain fate?

Write a 10-12 line free verse poem addressing the questions above. Your poem must have one simile, one metaphor, at least one use of alliteration and one use of personification. Underline these devices in your poem. Give your poem a creative title.

*** I will give you time in class on Apr 2/24 to write this piece as we ran out of time today ***
