All classes ended in slightly different places today. Here's a rundown of what happened each hour.
- Hour 2: During Hour 2, we checked through the vocab assignment for week 12. Then we worked through a couple of poems using the CPS clicker system to answer questions about the poems in the style of the MCA. For the first poem, students worked with partners, and we talked through the correct answers as a class. For the second poem, students worked on their own.
- Hour 5: After checking the vocab for lesson 12, we finished up reading "The Cremation of Sam McGee." Then we worked through a couple of poems using the CPS clicker system to answer questions about the poems in the style of the MCA. For the first poem, students worked with partners, and we talked through the correct answers as a class. For the second poem, students worked on their own.
- Hour 6: After checking vocab, students read Robert Frost's classic poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay." Then we worked through a couple of poems using the CPS clicker system to answer questions about the poems in the style of the MCA. For the first poem, students worked with partners, and we talked through the correct answers as a class. Students will answer the questions for the second poem on their own tomorrow in class.
- Hours 7, 8: After checking vocab, students read "The Cremation of Sam McGee." We discussed the plot of the story and the characteristics of a Ballad shown through this poem. Then we moved onto Robert Frost's classic poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay."We broke the poem down and analyzed it considering both the meaning of the poem and the poetic elements present used in the text.
