Periods 3/7:
OM: How is poetry different from prose? What do you have to do differently in order to understand poetry?
After sharing and discussing some answers to these questions (which entailed a review of the definitions of 'abstract', 'prose', and 'inference'), students were introduced to the Colossus of Rhodes (one of the Wonders of the Ancient World mentioned in poem) and selected words from the poem by Emma Lazarus which were unfamiliar. Definitions were written.
Classes will read the poem tomorrow and answer questions for a major grade.
