- Today was the end of our poetry unit.
- We started the class with the Poetry Unit Exam. The exam included 45 multiple choice questions directly related to the content covered during the two-week unit.
- During the test, I checked the homework: VFA #17-18.
- After the Scantron portion of the test, the students picked up the explication portion. The students were able to use any notes they had written about the poem in their packet. The students had to write a one-paragraph explication of a poem we had already studied in class.
- After the explication was complete, the students completed four pages of grammar (pages 149-152, odd #'s only).
- We did not review the grammar yet.
- After the tests were complete, we briefly reviewed the requirements for the Found Poem (DUE on Friday Feb 5).
- We also discussed what to expect on the CASHEE (taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday)
- We ended the period by watching The Great Debaters.
- Homework: Study Vocabulary & Spelling #17-18; bring a NEW OR Book, Bring your poetry packet; Complete the Found Poem.
