Poetry: A Review/ Introduction

Today we started our three-week poetry unit with a look at Brooks' poem "We Real Cool." We began with an initial annotation and added some poetry terms (end rhyme, internal rhyme, alliteration, consonance, point of view [POV], metaphor) to our notes.

We Real Cool

THE POOL PLAYERS.

SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.

We real cool. We

Left school. We

Lurk late. We

Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We

Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We

Die soon.
