About Me

I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe; I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd it in fears, night & morning with my tears; and I sunned it with my smiles and with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night, till it bore an apple bright; and my foe beheld it shine, and he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole when the night had veil'd the pole: in the morning glad I see my foe outstretch'd beneath the tree

Literature Assignment 2 (to be included in CA)

Hi Lit students,

Its time for another literature assignment. This time you will have to work individually and the grade given for this task will be counted into your exam marks.

Using at least 3 of the different literary devices taught to you last lesson, you will have to write a poem of no less than 3 stanzas. The theme for this task is 'school'. Include graphics to enhance the visual quality of your work and don't forget to explain your poem in one or two paragraphs at the end of it all.

Explain to me why you have used the literary devices in your poem, the inspiration behind the poem, the theme and subject, your personal responses etc.

U may craft your work on an A4 paper, drawing paper, poster etc. I'd very much prefer those to foolscap paper! Dateline of assignment is Friday 6th of February. Because this is an exam grade, failure to submit will get you an immediate F yea?

Give it your best, like you always do! Each mark goes a long way!

Marking criteria
Graphics /5
Explanation /5
Use of literary device /5
Content /10

And as usual, I'll publish the good pieces on my blog, or even recommend them to the Falcon Committee.

Best of luck :)
