Wednesday 4/6/11

IN CLASS:
I was unexpectedly out sick today, so students had a sub in class.

Hours 2, 4, 8--
Today students began work on "The Road Not Taken." Given a worksheet, students were asked to paraphrase (or put into their own words) the lines of this famous poem. When that was finished, students picked up vocab lesson 29 and had the rest of the hour to work on that.

Hours 3, 5--
These classes started with a critical response to "The Poison Tree."

William Blake’s poem “A Poison Tree” is often described as didactic (intended for instruction). What is the lesson about the cultivation of anger does Blake give his reader? Use at least 2 DQs to support your answer, and consider the figurative language used in the poem.

When that was finished and turned in, students began work on "The Road Not Taken" (see above for instructions).
