Wednesday, April 19 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: Editing of timed essay (using ‘suggesting’ mode on google drive): need by end of block
*WN: Can high schoolers ever truly follow Transcendental ideas? Be specific on which ideas (think Emerson) or acts (think Thoreau) they can or can’t follow and why you think that.  Don’t think of adults, think of you and your peers…
*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): Also, poetry analysis/annotation handout.
*Emily Dickinson p546 (READ THIS WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR ESSAY, BEFORE WE MOVE ON, take notes on the poem packet or Romantic era notes on info about her that seems important)
*Read ‘author’s style’ pg 547 (add any definitions to poetry terms sheet, if necessary)
*Read through and do a quick annotation of 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)


*At any point when you find yourself done with the list here (as well as “Civil Disobedience” from yesterday), READ or BLOG or COMMENT!!!!
