Its still not clear... But I think the other two boxes should be "12:00gmt" and "look before you leap" respectively

Am I right?

"Look before U leap" was correct.

Ok guys there is not really a class...per se tonight. I started a lesson and realized I wanted more time to develop it. I've started a lesson on the history of poetry in Nigeria. It needs more time though.

Everest and I decided we would do Bio poems instead. We can get to know a little about each other that way. If you prefer you can make up a character to write about.

[b] A BioPoem is a structured collection of vivid details about a character's life, personality traits and aspirations: a portrait in words. In creating your BioPoem, try to avoid generalizations, which tend to be boring and uninteresting, in favour of vivid details which reveal interesting aspects of your subject. The structure of the BioPoem you are going to use is outlined below.

Begin each line with the words in quotes where indicated, and after research supply the details requested in the parentheses. Good luck!

Line 1: (Character's first name)
Line 2: "Relative of..." or Friend of..." (List 3 or 4 relatives or friends)
Line 3: (List 4 character traits that would describe this person or his personality
Line 4: (Position or job)
Line 5: "Lover of..." (3 things, people, activities, etc.)
Line 6: "Who felt..." (3 emotions and explanations)
Line 7: "Who has been..." (3 places or events this character has been)
Line 8: "Who needed..." (3 descriptions of things this character may have needed)
Line 9: "Who feared..." (3 descriptions of things this character may have feared)
Line 10: "Who gave..." (3 descriptions of what this character has given to family, friends, the world,
etc.)
Line 11: "Who longed for..." (3 descriptions)
Line 12: "Who would like to have seen..." (3 descriptions of things the character may have wanted to
have seen in his lifetime)
Line 13: (Synonym - one profound word that describes the character)
Line 14: "Resident of..." (description of place, dates, location, etc.)
Line 15: (Character's last name) [/b]

Here is an example of a bio poem.

Winnie the Pooh


Winnie
Cheerful, optimistic, loyal, 'a bear of very little brain'
Friend of Piglet, Christopher Robin, Eeyore and Tigger
Teddy bear, friend, confidante and honey hunter
Lover of honey, impromptu songs and hums, honey and more honey
Who feels adventurous on expeditions, fearful of Woozles and protective of Piglet
Who fell out of a tree, got pulled into the air by a kite and walked in the 100 Acre Wood
Who needed advice from Christopher Robin, occasional mothering from Kanga and a 'little something' at 11:00
Who feared empty honey pots, Tigger's bounces and bees
Who gave Eeyore the house he already had, the game of Pooh-Sticks to his friends and unlimited love to
Christopher Robin
Who longed for more honey, to look like a cloud and fly
Who would like to have seen Christopher Robin remain a child forever, the return of 'small' and Eeyore
happy
Loveable
Resident of 100 Acre Wood and Christopher Robin's imagination
The Pooh

Write your bio poems and bring them here. Let's get to know each other, or just have a little fun by making a silly bio poem.
