Week of Jan 6: End of book groups + poetry

Monday, 1/6:
We reviewed the terms diction, denotation, and connotation, and practiced our diction analysis skills. We then read and discussed the poem Metaphors by Sylvia Plath.
HW: read and analyze three poems. Upload your work to Teams and bring a printout Friday.

Wednesday, 1/8:
Book group meetings
HW: MOWAW and Q3 prompts

Friday, 1/10:

1. Finish discussion of book group work
2. Meet with students who chose to analyze the same poem as you
3. I quickly introduced a new strategy (Color Marking) and students color marked a new/clean copy of the poem. IF YOU WERE ABSENT: you need to print out a new/clean copy of your assigned poem and color mark it according to the directions. Please color mark a clean copy of the poem according to these groupings. Arrive with this done on Tuesday.

HW:

• Complete the book group feedback form in Teams
• Finish color marking your poem and bring ALL your poetry work back on Tuesday to continue discussing
