Wednesday, Nov. 20 Agenda

• Bell Ringer: Editing of timed essay (using ‘suggesting’ mode on google drive): need by tomorrow (if 20 min isn’t enough)
• Discuss: 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…
• Walden/”Civil Disobedience” Discussion (How are Thoreau’s beliefs echoed today? Can society actually function by following Transcendentalism?)
• 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 (take notes on this info in your Realism Era notes)
• Read ‘author’s style’ pg 547 (add any definitions to poetry terms sheet, if necessary)
• Read through and do a quick annotation 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.
• Post 3 due tomorrow
