*Bell Ringer:
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…
*Thoreau continued
*“Civil
Disobedience” 390, read some together
*Questions on
same sheet as Walden
*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)
*Emily Dickinson p546 (READ
THIS IF YOU FINISH THOREAU BEFORE WE MOVE ON)
*Read ‘author’s
style’ pg 547 (add any
definitions to poetry terms sheet, if necessary)
*HOMEWORK: Read through all of
her poems. Once you’ve read them all,
pick three from the packet and
one from the sheet
on its own. For all four,
write your
interpretation and analysis of them in your notes
*Analyzing Poetry
*Read through
one time
*Figure
meanings of unknown words, think/write questions, comments, thoughts about the
poem
*Read again
*Is there a
rhyme scheme? What is it? Repetition? Figurative language? What poetic devices?
*How can we see
influence of Dickinson’s life in the poem? Is the author the same as the
speaker?
*Read a third
time
*What are some
possible meanings? What happens in it? What parts of the poem make you think
what you do about it?
