Welcome To Wiki!
In the Hawaiian language, "wiki" means quick. This is a quick, interactive site for English 9 students where they can view daily assignments including vocabulary, upload documents, and post written work. Always keep in mind that this public domain is an educational resource; therefore, students must not write anything they do not want their principal, guardians, and clergyman/woman to read. Inappropriate content will generate unpleasant consequences.
Please review our rules for using this site:
- We will post quality work that is academically relevant.
- We will respect the work of others.
- We will post wiki assignments on the wiki and in no other form.
A couplet is when the last word in two lines of poetry rhyme. For example, in this excerpt from the famous nursery rhyme, we have 4 lines of verse consisting of 2 couplets:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
like a diamond in the sky.
In the following poem by William Blake, we have 6 lines of verse consisting of 3 couplets:
Robin Redbreast Skylark Wren
Three Things to Remember
by William Blake
A Robin Redbreast in a cage,
Puts all of Heaven in a rage.
A skylark wounded on the wing
Doth make a cherub cease to sing.
He who shall hurt the little wren
Shall never be beloved by men.
Your assignment is to write a poem consisting of at least 3 couplets, similar to the above poem. Like Blake, you want to state that 3 different offenses will result in 3 dire consequences. Your poem does not have to have a religious theme, but should model mature, high-level thinking. We will read our poems in class on Friday, 4/19.
