did I do my assignment right?



Yes this is right, thank you. Did you write for the full time limit?

You followed my instructions great.

9/10 (Shows an understanding of free writing)




Ok for your next assignment I would like you to write down a free write and pick again the word that came up the most, then I would like you to place it the same way but expand it into an acrostic poem.

Ex.

R- Repeated times I have had to stoop
A-and please you even though it hurt.
P- Pleases never made you stop
E- ever on my emotional tangle.

Do you get it?

Acrostic poems are a great place to start introducing the flow of language, you have until Tuesday.

Please contact me.

no, a stress meter like a iambic pentameter (-.-.-) is a good way to learn the flow of language. in english poetry, flow is generally nothing more than the placement of stressed syllables at the intervals that the author chooses. other languages have other way to express the concept of flow, including syllable meters and even pitch meters for those languages who use tones to distinguish between words.

Ok so flow was the wrong word, Acrostics are still a great place to start playing with language...
