Block Day: Psalms and Bird Songs

* Open
  • Grammar: please fix the following misquotation of Robert Frost:
    • "Their are three things after all that a poem must reach the eye the ear and what we may call the hart or the mind. It is most important of all to reach the hart of the reeder."
  • Copy your next memorization poem into your composition book
* Review journal together
* Journal 17: Mirror, Mirror, on my desk (iPad), who's the poet we like best (rad)?
  •  For this assignment, we will use our shorter timeline. 
  • Now, you need to divide into groups of 2-4. 
    • Go to the Poetry Foundation
    • Next, consult the far right side boxes of the short timeline.  
    • Using the search box at the Poetry Foundation, find and read at least one poem (or 20 or more lines of a long poem) from one writer of interest in each box/period (you may skip the box that only has Cromwell). 
    • For your journal, answer the following brief questions
      • What is the title, who is the author, and what is the period this poem was written during?
      • What did your group find most interesting about this poem?
* When you finish, please work on your coastal poem.

HW: Journal 17 and complete a rough draft of a coastal poem.
