 Warm Up:
Read the poem at left. (This is one poem that would be very difficult to read aloud.)
  1. What four words is it made up of? 
  2. Why is it important that he used lower-case l's, rather than capital L's?
  3. Why does he "mix up" the words? What's he trying to represent?
  4. Make up a title for this poem that does not start with the letter L.
Warm Up II:
Euphemisms: A "nice" way of saying something unpleasant. Example: passed on = died, sanitation engineer = garbage man. Try these:
  1. friendly fire?
  2. physically challenged?
  3. visually disabled?
  4. involuntary servitude?
  5. economically disadvantaged?
  6. undocumented transborder migrant?
  7. solid waste?
