Thursday, April 20 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: Walden”/“Civil Disobedience” Discussion
*Find the 4 poems you wrote about and write your insights (just a few of your interpretations) on the documents as comments (DON’T write on the document itself)
*On each of the 4, write TWO comments (your IN DEPTH annotations)
*For 3 of the other poems, add one comment each (a maybe less in depth annotation)
*Read and analyze/explicate “Because I could not stop for Death-” on page 548/sheet
*On sheet (then put it in your binder):
*What is this extended metaphor comparing?  (Extended Metaphor: a point by point presentation of one thing as though it were another)  List three specific comparisons you can find in the poem.
*How do the three images (visual images seen during the ride) reflect stages of life? What parts of life is she saying goodbye to?
*How would you describe the overall mood of the poem?  Does this mood reflect the speaker’s attitude toward death? Be specific
*“Because I could not stop for Death” stuff and comments on documents due in +/- 35 minutes

*Discuss Emily Dickinson’s poetry (packet and individual) tomorrow
