1st Per - Writing Day
2nd Per - Reading day.
3rd Per - We finished our Poe story. Write a one page essay on whether you believe the narrator to be crazy or just deluded. Use 5 examples from the text to support your arguments.
4th Per - Poetry continued. You will be making a power point presentation about an author of your choice. In this power point, you should include:
-A biography of your author.
- Discuss his/her life, including birth, death (if not still alive), Kids, Jobs they worked (if they didn't make their living as an author - which most writers can't.)
- Include pictures.
-You will give a chronology of their poetic works. This doesn't mean you need to mention every poem he or she ever wrote. Rather, you should give a time line and discuss time frames in their lives when they might have published a book of poetry, or a certain famous poem came out, or a style of poetry that they tried for awhile.
-You will need to pick a poem and discect it for the class. Extra points will be given if it is memorized. Then discuss things like "Point of view" and other literary techniques the poet may have used.
5th Per: We looked at examples of other people's sonnets that are on the internet, and I assigned the class to create a sonnet of their own for class tomorrow. This can be fun, but extremely challenging.
6th Per: Continue working on Merchant of Venice. Do the character/plot map for the rest of Act I, scene II.
