We've been reading a lot of different poems.
Now it's time to explore the process of writing our own.
In Canvas, you will find a file called "First Draft Ode."
It is a rough draft of an ode titled "Ode to Thanks"
It is a rough draft of an ode titled "Ode to Thanks"
An ode is a type of poem that we use to celebrate
something that we love or appreciate or truly value.
As writers, we have to remember that our best
ideas do not always occur right away. Expressing
ideas in creative ways takes time and effort.
You will be working in groups to turn this rough
draft into a second, much more descriptive draft.
(Don't worry; I will explain.)
This will require creativity, patience, and real
communication with your peers. You all have
brilliant ideas; do not be afraid of them!
