Creation | Describe what you created and what your viewer is supposed to understand from your image. Identify the literary element you used and what it represents.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION While the test as a whole is not timed, each question is timed. If time is running out, a clock will appear. If you have an answer in mind, please click in at that time. If you do not answer a question in time, the system assumes you did not know the answer and counts the question as wrong. It is a good idea to take your best guess if you are unsure, rather than letting the question time out. ADDITIONAL TIME When you are done please notify me by raising your hand.

Do Now | Poetry + Symbolism
In your group, read the portion of the poem that was distributed to you. As a group, determine what the poem is about. Determine what you think the poem means, what it is saying. Then create a symbol that represents that meaning. September 11th: A Poem Might it be, as my mother said to me on this ugly, sinful day, That the world is on its last go-round? Hijacked wild birds strip the sky of its innocent morning breath Steel towers crumple like playing cards on an uneven metal table Unrehearsed screams we dare not hear leap from windows Into the open, bottomless palms of God I cannot stand to watch life reduce Itself to powdery dust and soot lathering the devil’s inflamed mouth But I am fixated on the television anyhow: Is this what slavery was like? Is this what the holocaust was like? Is this what famine is like? Is this what war is like? Is this how you felt, dear mother, when King and the two Kennedys were killed? I want to stitch up the sky, deny humans the right to fly Cry until my tears have washed hatred From the mildewed underarms of history And I want to say to the firemen Ah, yes, the firemen: Your husband, your father, your brother, your uncle, your friend Thank you for speeding to the end of Your time and thank you for showing us that Courage is a soul so unselfish it would Scale a collapsing building to liberate a stranger Even as your blood relatives wonder if you are alive — From the remains of this madness I detect a heartbeat called life From the remains of this madness I smell an aroma called love From the remains of this madness I embrace a body called humanity From the remains of this madness I construct a dream called hope From the remains of this madness I will ride the wings of the deceased Into the clouds, scribble their names on the sun Erect a memorial to the moon, chant the blues For New York City, then resurrect a world Where a new-born rose will jut through the broken concrete.
