Class Minutes: Wed. March 2nd

We predicted line breaks for the text of a poem entitled, "We Real Cool." Then we listened to the reading and reconsidered our choices based on how it was read by the author. Finally, we saw the unorthodox choice Gwendyln Brooks made and discussed its purpose.

Then, we listened to John Ulrich, in a video interview, explain why "We Real Cool," is his favourite poem and discuss the personal connection he has to the piece.

Finally, we went to the language lab to record our selected favourite poems, include and introduction and explanation. They were then exported as WAV files and emailed to Mrs. Wall.
