Thursday - May 12, 2011

1st period - Maps testing continued. 

2nd Per - Earnest Movie - We have only 5 minutes left!

3rd Per - We read through Pg 524 - 528 in Literature textbook about parallel structure and how Lincoln used it in his Gettysburg address, and MLK Jr. used it in his "I have a dream" speach.

4th Per - We finished up our discussion of Sonnet rhyme schemes, and introduced the Hiaku form of poetry.  Haikus are another form of very specific, very strictly controlled writing.  There are always 3 lines.  The first line has 5 syllables.  The second has 7.  and the 3rd line has 5 again.  Haiku usually doesn't worry about rhyming words.  Rhyming is fine, but certainly not required, or even expected. 

5th Per - Continued Macbeth video.

6th Per - Continued Merchant video.
