*Bell Ringer: Introduce American Poetic Voice assessment
*Definition of American Voice:
1st block: The opinions, beliefs, perspectives, choices, morals, and wishes expressed by those in America. Influenced and shaped by current and past, large and small events as well as individual experiences. These ideas expressed are demonstrating the ‘speaker’s’ opinions of the state of society and the individuals within it, covering the beliefs and opinions of the American people.
*4th Block: The American Voice expresses the perspectives, morals, opinions, thoughts, and feelings speakers have toward their country, the people in it and the views of others. Influenced by past and present events that changed America and Americans positively and negatively. The voice attempts to influence, change, and better society.
