Sorry, Mrs. Hirzel has been a little behind with the wonky schedule this past week. Here is all the information on what we covered this past week.
- Students took the Poetry Anticipation Guide
- Students were given Wicked Word Wall Poetry Handout.
- Students were given the How to Read a Poem Article from http://www.shmoop.com/.
- Students will have a wicked word wall quiz on Wednesday, October 24
- Students were given the Coming of Age Poetry Packet
- Students read and discussed the following poems: "On My First Son," "My Papa's Waltz," "Before the Birth of One of her Children," "The History Teacher," and "Cross."
- Students discussed and focused on how the poems successfully used poetic devices, what the literal and figurative meanings of the poems were, as well as how they connected to our quarterly theme of coming of age.
- Weekend Homework: Read and annotate "Out, Out--" by Robert Frost
