Poerty Returns

We started off the hour with some work time on the speeches. Remember to read the other speeches for your groups and summarize by Wednesday (read the assignment sheet).
Then we looked at one of the poetry essays for the lit. test. I know poetry is sometimes intimidating especially weird ones about hawks, Plato, and leaky pipes. Some hints for poetry:
  • look for some type of contrasts, shifts, etc.
  • look for repetition
  • look at types of images created (positive/negative)
  • look for anything that stands out or doesn't seem to fit
  • Finally when in doubt look for something to do with nature, death, love, loss of innocence

Upcoming: MC tomorrow, Speeches for Wednesday, Fear for Monday

Reminders: Get your registration forms signed and please bring Eyes Were Watching God on Friday since I forgot to collect them today.
