Hello!

H/W: Please finish your "Sneetches" questions and notes if they were not done for today. I will be collecting your notes and responses.   Read pg. 620 in Elements of Literature, and take notes on rhyme, end rhyme, internal rhyme, and alliteration. Then read pg. 626 and take notes on rhyme scheme. After that, read "The Sneetches." Answer the questions on the paper from class. and remember the poem can be found online - just Google it!
