9th Lit -- Sonnet Troubles

Good morning,

First of all I want to exclaim how much so many of you are POETS!  Your poems were amazing!

Before you freak out or think on not talking about you because your grade, please hear me out.  I am--all of your poems are awesome.

We apparently had some trouble following the directions and rubric--therefore a lot of you didn't earn credit for your sonnet.  So, I'm giving you this opportunity:

1. Log in to turnitin.com and look at your sonnet assignment--click on Grade Mark to see your rubric and how you scored on each criteria.
2. Go back to your google doc and edit your original assignment.  Make sure you are looking at the rubric and the example.
3. Make sure you label the 4 criteria at the bottom of your poem.  This is what you earn credit for!  Can you accurately use and identify rhyme scheme, 2 instances of figurative language, and 1 sound device?  Yes, you need to write an original poem, but the rubric is how well you can use what we've learned to create a poem.  Most of you put your devices in there, just didn't label them.  Prove you knew what you were doing and didn't do it by accident!
4. Resubmit your sonnet on turnitin.com under the assignment called Revision 1.  If you try to submit it under the original assignment, you won't be able to.
5. The new deadline is this Friday by 11:59pm.

If you have any questions, please email me!
