Tuesday May 22nd

11s-  Today was the first in our series of four Literature Circle meetings.  Groups did a great job (for the most part) of running discussion groups.  It was wonderful to hear all the meaningful responses that students shared with each other.  Keep it up, we're here to help each other!

Next meeting is Monday May 28th - you should know which pages to read and what to prepare.  Keep in mind that you need to rotate the jobs/responsibilities...so don't do the same job twice.

10s- Today we took another look at poetic devices...use this as a study tool for the Provincial.  We completed a close reading of two new poems: "King of Pain" and "The Quiet Room" which are both great examples of catharsis in poetry...

Returned - poetic devices quiz, journals

Homework: TPCASTT "War is Kind", study for Poetry Unit test MON MAY 28th (will cover poetic devices and poem interpretation)
