This is Just to Say it's Almost Valentines Day!

For Wednesday, write three additional “This is Just to Say” parodies using the parody format I provided in class.  You will need to turn these in, so write them on loose-leaf paper or type and print them.

Here is a checklist for how to write a good parody:

  • Focuses on a subject/topic that contributes to the parody.
  • Chooses words that mock the original poet’s style.
  • Maintains similarity to the original poem (the connections between the two are clear and obvious).
  • Contains creative details and demonstrates originality (avoids cliche).
  • Has no spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors.
