Genesis III / Poetry III

College Prep 12

Just quickly: We reveiwed working metaphoric imagery today. Going over the poetry projects i've noted that the imagery is not being worked as surgically as I wish, so rewrites may be in order when they are returned.

We reviewed yesterday's lesson in terms of archetypes. Students are to take the archetypal imagery from the Eden story and treat it as their own dream. Brainstorm personal interpretations and associations with the stories imagery and construct meaning in a personal essay. Primary archtypes: God, Adam, Eve, Tree, Serpent, Paradise, Forbidden Fruit. Due Monday.

Grade 10

Discussed the first three stanzas of "La Belle Dame sans Merci" by John Keats. (See yesterday's entry for link.) Reread the rest of the, the knight's response, and add to annotation already done.
