- We started the period by reviewing the requirements for the Found Poem Assignment. I passed out a student sample so the students could see exactly what needs to be included and how the paper should be laid out.
- The students received a Poetry Calendar for this week.
- I also reviewed the elements that are going to be on the poetry test on Thursday. The students should complete the Poetry Exam Study guide as a way to study. They may also bring in a 5x7 card with notes on one side to use during the test.
- We then reviewed the questions about "Aunt Jennifer's Tigers". The students were expected to add to their notes.
- The students then got into groups based on the Frost poem they read for homework. Each group discussed the poem in order to prepare for a presentation to the class.
- Each group presented their poem to the class (either "The Road Not Taken" or "Mending Wall").
- We ran out of time, so we did not discuss the Dickinson poems. We will discuss them before the test on Thursday.
- Homework: Study for the Poetry Unit Exam, Work on the Found Poem-DUE Friday April 8 @ 11:59pm to Turnitin.com
