Thursday, December 9

Everyone please remember about the projects! The Antigone movie project will be due on Monday, December 13. Tomorrow (Friday), we will be going to the computer lab. You'll be able to use the 90 minutes of class time to research or type papers. Be prepared with draft copies or flash drives or whatever you need.

In class today, we continued our look at poetry.
Blocks One and Four: Students learned about figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification, etc.). Students conducted a "poetry scavenger hunt". They looked through various poems and found examples of different types of figurative language.

Block Two: Students read the poem "The Lake" and analyzed it for its use of figurative language. After that, students read each other's poems (which we wrote on Tuesday) and tried to determine what type of poem each was.
