Journal Prompts: November 1st-4th

TUESDAY: Write a remembrance poem.  If possible, write in honor of someone from your life that has passed away.   Use strong sensory details.  If you get stuck you might try some of these sentence starters:
A poem for…
I remember …who always…
Your memory is…
…and yet you still…

THURSDAY: This week most of us celebrated Halloween. We also learned about Dia de los Muertos. These two holidays offer some very different views on death. After reading the poems provided write your own poem or narrative that somehow addresses this theme.  You might also think back to the readings we did on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Tell Tale Heart, and The Raven.
