Thursday and Friday we worked on paraphrasing and analyzing the theme of our poems so that we go into he memorization process with an idea of the message that our poem is trying to send.
We worked on "The Brain is Wider Than the Sky" by Emily Dickinson in class. Friday we spent a lot of time using the same process on our own poems: paraphrase/write analysis sentences-- (TURN THESE IN). Then: MEMORIZE!
We will start recitations on Wednesday-- we can get through everyone in one class period, I think. Can't wait!
NOTE: We will check out our new text, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey, on Monday.
