Poetry in Motion

Daily Update
We stepped deep into the world of poetry this morning, looking at several poems and working to decode their meaning through careful reading of the text.

Many students look at poetry as being "difficult"--something too hard for them to decipher and comprehend. I hope we can move past that road block over the next few weeks as we learn to carefully read and respond to poetry.

Homework Reminder
For Friday, you need to read the rest of chapter 16 (starting at page 512). The first several pages of the section are fairly technical descriptions of poetry terms. You need to read them! We may have a quiz on Friday morning.

Following your reading of the rest of chapter 16, complete Response Paper 8. The assignment, as usual, is posted on Angel.
