Wednesday, April 21st

Word of the Day:

1) Silent Reading

2) Let's get the poetry journal organized. Here's the rubric.
Let's figure out all the work you should have in it so far... I'll take it in on Friday, for a first round of marking. Then, again, at the end of the month.

3) Understanding the poem you will read aloud. Mark up one copy to answer the questions to ask of the poem. The other copy as a "script" for how you will read.

4) Poem Paragraph - writing about poetry is not easy. Your task is to write a 8-12 sentence paragraph about the poem you have selected - you must organize your thesis around your understanding of the theme. /12 Let's do tell the truth but tell it slant on the over head together....

Example #1 Example #2

Library time to work today - bring it in on Friday...

Tomorrow: Lit Circle tasks.
