Wednesday 3/3/10

IN CLASS:
Today we worked on marking out the meter of a poem. We used the poem on the bottom of the page from yesterday's blog entry (you can download it on the entry below). I made a video of how to go about marking the meter in a poem. To see the video, click here. It will take you to a website called Screencast which should allow you to watch the video. If it works (or not), please let me know (keasling.anne@slpschools.org).

ROOT WORDS FOR THIS WEEK:
  • DENS/DENTIS=teeth (as in dentist, dental, dentures)
  • BRACCHIUM=arm (as in branch, bracelet, embrace)
  • PES/PEDIS=foot (as in pedicure, pedal, pedestrian)
  • CORPUS/CORPORIS=body (as in corpse, corporal, corporate)

ASSIGNMENT:
none for tomorrow, but we will be having a short quiz over line, stanza, rhyme scheme and rhythm tomorrow during class.
