We will have a group discussion when you are done. 

Work Time

1. If you haven't turned in your portfolio, please get that in today. 

2. Please choose what writing you would like put in the yearbook. I would like to submit that to Ms. Rudy TODAY.

3. Choose a piece to share in class on Friday. We can only have a circle if people SHARE/DISCUSS. We will be taking a picture and be recorded for the senior video on Friday.

4. Create work for the Virgilio Contest

The Nicholas A. Virgilio Memorial Haiku Competition for Grades 7-12

Founded by the Sacred Heart Church in Camden, NJ, and sponsored by the Nick Virgilio Haiku Association in memory of Nicholas A. Virgilio, a charter member of the Haiku Society of America, who died in 1989. The Haiku Society of America cosponsors the contest, provides judges, and publishes the results in Frogpond and on the HSA Web site.
Deadline: In hand by March 25, 2014. Entries received after that date will not be accepted.
Eligibility: Any student in grades 7 through 12 enrolled in school as of September 2014 may enter.
Regulations: Submit up to three haiku per student. All haiku must be previously unpublished, original work, and not entered in any other contest or submitted elsewhere for publication. Please follow the guidelines carefully. Publication is defined as an appearance in a printed book, magazine, or journal (sold or given away), or in any online journal that presents edited periodic content. The appearance of poems in online discussion lists or personal websites is not considered publication. Judges will be asked to disqualify any haiku that they have seen before.
Submissions: Each haiku must be on three separate 3" x 5" cards. The haiku must appear on the front of each card; your name, address, age, grade level, and school (please include the school address) must appear on the back of (only) one of the cards for each haiku. Please do not send self-addressed stamped envelope with your entries. All winners will be notified. Winning haiku and commentaries will appear in Frogpond. Do not use staples for any purpose. Failure to follow this format will make it impossible to judge an entry and may result in the disqualification of a submission without notification.
Entry fee: None.
Submit entries to:
Tony Virgilio
Nick Virgilio Haiku Association
1092 Niagara Rd
Camden, NJ 08104-2859
Adjudication: Judges named by the HSA.
Awards: Six haiku will be selected and each awarded $50. The winning haiku and list of winners will be published in Frogpond and on the HSA Web site. The high school of each student winner will receive a one-year subscription to Frogpond.
Rights: All rights revert to the authors after publication.
Correspondence: Please keep a copy of your haiku; entries cannot be returned.
