Students Write Rhyming Poems in Creative Writing

                Currently in Mrs. Pappan’s creative writing class, students are writing rhyming poems. For many, rhyming comes very easy to them.  They can just spit words out and they work. For others, they struggle with coming up with the words that rhyme together.
                “I didn’t like the rhyming unit. It limits you to the words you can use because you have to be sure that it will rhyme”, said junior Jade Woods. According to poemhunter.com; a rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds, or of the same sounds, in two or more words. The word rhyme is a Germanic term meaning “series or sequence.”  Also the word rhyme has multiple spellings. For example; rime or ryme.

Although rhyming poems can sometimes be difficult, they can be fun. “The one thing I did like was the rhythm that you create with the rhyming poems,” Woods said.

The questions are centered on the material learned in the class throughout the semester. The most recent FRQ pertained to the information learned in the second unit of the book over population and migration.                 The students had the opportunity to take their first FRQs home to work on them overnight.                 “I thought that for the first one it would be good to do a take home assignment to gently get [them] into it. Next we’ll be doing one in class and eventually as a test,” said Gross.                 When grading the tests, Gross looks at the responses the way any AP grader would when looking at them this summer.                 “I look for: Did you answ

These aren’t just ordinary sticky notes, on every single sticky note there is an inspirational quote to start your day.                 During spring break, students that are a part of stand for the silent got together and made a sticky note for every single locker in this school. Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It was a very good idea and it was cool to walk around and see all of the different messages,” senior Nic Henderson said.                 Doing these creative messages can really help to brighten a student’s day after everyone
