CLASSWORK RUBRIC

EXTRA CREDIT #2!!! (Optional) :   Imagery of my Quarantine Poem!  Write a poem about your life in quarantine. Include the 5 physical senses - what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch/feel!!

Example:  When I wake up in my quarantine, I see 2 blue jays flying to their nest in the yard and the tiny pictures of my students on my computer screen.  Their pictures don't tell jokes and shake my hand. I see how much they have grown since their pictures were taken. I smell coffee brewing in the kitchen. I hear my daughter's footsteps running through the house. She says, "Mommy, who is that student? Tell me all of their names." I taste dried mango, my favorite snack. I'm running out of mango, so I only have a little, because it is not easy to run to the store. I feel the warmth of home, but the tension in my heart for sick and distant loved ones. A nurse in Brooklyn sick with the virus; a friend whose father passed away; my family on the other side of the country. Am I suspended in a dream?
