Hello All,
 
Attached is a copy of the two poems I shared in class as examples of the advice poem YOU need to write.

Please make sure you follow the format given as closely as possible.
Be sure to TYPE your poem and give it a title.
 
Good luck!

I will write the list on the board during class and give all of you some time to make sure you've got everything.
