Grade 12
- Collected "The Sick Rose" (Blake) essays. (Am only looking for structure and organization on this one.)
- Discussed the poem. (Very well done in both classes.)
- Have a go at Yeats' "The Second Coming" for homework. Read and annotate.
- Poetry essay due next Monday. Select a poem or lyric. Annotate and plan your essay. Make sure the piece is something that can have a meaning deeper than the literal interpretation. Sometimes a love song is just a love song. Don't choose something too long! The annotated poem must be submitted with the essay.
- Reminders: The marking period ends a week from this coming Friday (4/8). Period 8 needs to have journals in this Thursday. Period 4 the following Thursday. Hamlet rewrites should be in before the end of this week. The poetry essay is due Monday 4/4. Two words: TIME MANAGEMENT!
- Last day of Julius Caesar exam. Anyone not done with the essay will have to finish during a study hall or after school by the end of the week.
- Today was the first day in the library for research:
- "You will be researching a well-known poet of your choice. Your actual research paper will be both about the poet’s life, as well as about the poetry which they wrote/write. Additionally, you will need to select a poem by your poet and memorize it. At the end of the research unit, each of you will create a visual that represents your chosen poem, and you will recite your poem to the class while showing your visual."
- Should have a poet and poem selected by tomorrow at the latest!
