"Poem on an Underground Wall" by Paul Simon / Finish Julius Caesar, Start Video

Grade 12

Well, it seems to be that time of the year. While some of you continue to keep your eyes on the prize and maintain focus and intensity, others are starting to play the "senioritis" game which I have very little patience for. Coming to school late, missing deadlines or not submitting work at all. So...

New Rules:
  • Assignments are due in class, not "by the end of the day."  No rewrites will be accepted for any assignment submitted after the class period it is due.
  • Journals: Late points will be deducted if your journal is not in class the period it is due.
  • One day late continues to be a 15 point deduction.
  • Two days late is now a 25 point deduction.
  • Three days late is a 35 point deduction
  • Four days or more late will be assigned an automatic grade of 50.
Class:
  • Continued Paul Simon's "Poem on an Underground Wall", analyzed through the lens of The Hero Journey.
  • The purpose of the poetry unit is to develop the process by which deeper meaning can be constructed by logically analyzing figurative language.
  • A major grade extra credit grade will be awarded to anyone who writes a competent analysis paper of this poem.
