Hi Everyone,
Today was kind of a low energy day in the classroom. I'm just getting over a cold/flu that I had all weekend and it's raining again and I gave back your papers....so I'm sure that is a lot of it. I feel like we need to 'jazz up' our energy about these poems and talk more. The world is not divided up into "poetry people" or "non-poetry people." We are all people hoping to appreciate good writing.
We need to embrace what Robert Frost says about the poem:
Poetry is a way of taking life by the throat.
-Robert Frost
Listen to the sounds of the words and the language used and the arrangement of the lines and muster some wonder about the craft and talent it takes
To put a poem together.
For Thursday,please read the prescribed poems at left and make journal entries for each of them.
Also, read the sonnets section, pg 856 - 862.
1, Write journal notes on "Acquainted with the Night" in regards to its meaning and form
2, Choose one other sonnet to write about in your journal. Choose lines that you like and explain their meaning.
