 You have chosen or been assigned a character from //Feed //. Based on our discussion today in class, you will need to compose a poem centered around your own character. This poem will be a required component of your Glogster poster. You are urged to be creative, challenge yourself and step outside your comfortable level. Feel free to have quiet conversations with your neighbors regarding your poem. If you, as your character you've adopted, need to discuss a situation with a fellow character, seek them out, but make sure not to interrupt your fellow classmates.
