After scribbling down the agenda in our binders, we gave a "Show & Tell" on the ads that we had to pick two nights before, and tell what kind of techniques were used, what the ad was about, which kind of "deadly sin" it carried, etc.
Afterwards, Sister Salma told us the difference between Poetic and non-poetic, which we soon learn is called "Prosaic". She had 10 sheets around the room containing stories/essays that were either Poetic or Prosaic, and we had to identify them.
Here are the notes:

Poetry (Poetic):
-lines
-stanzas
-figurative word choice
-"eye candy"= beauty
-deeper meaning

Prose (Prosaic):
-sentences
-paragraphs
-fiction/ non-
-factual
-dull
-unimaginative
-uncreative
