Wednesday, Nov. 18 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: Walden/Civil Disobedience Discussion
*Find your poetry terms sheet, read through to remind yourself of all of the ideas we look for in poetry (we will be looking at poetry for a few days, so if you aren’t sure on definitions, check different resources as well)
*Editing of timed essay (using ‘suggesting’ mode on google drive): need by end of block
*Emily Dickinson p546 (READ THIS IF YOU FINISH YOUR ESSAY BEFORE WE MOVE ON)
*Read ‘author’s style’ pg 547 (add any definitions to poetry terms sheet, if necessary)

*Read through and annotate all of the poems in the packet.  Once you’ve read and quickly annotated them all, pick four. For those four, make sure your annotations are very detailed and you have a solid understanding of different ideas within the poem.
*What does the author say? How does he/she say it?
*Read through one time
*Figure meanings of unknown words, think/write questions, comments, thoughts about the poem (what the author says)
*Read again
*What are some possible meanings? What happens in it? What parts of the poem make you think what you do about it?
*How can we see influence of Dickinson’s life in the poem? Is the author the same as the speaker?
*Read a third time
*Is there a rhyme scheme? What is it? Repetition? Figurative language? What poetic devices? (how the author says it)
