The Metacognitive: November 28

Focus: How can you use metacognition to find your way into a poem?

1. Warming up with your ears and a mini lesson on exact rhyme vs. slant rhyme

  • Other sound devices to consider today: Euphony, cacophony, meter, double meanings (puns), alliteration, assonance

2. Performing a metacognitive on your poems

Reminders:

  • Please place this in your shared folder and label it "__________ (your last name) November Metacognition)"
  • Include a copy of the poem at the TOP of your document; remember to include the author. If you're handwriting, please print a copy and staple it to the front of your metacognitive.
  • Include an MLA heading.


HW:
1. For tomorrow (Nov 29): [ADJUSTMENT] Please read the first half of Chapter 1 in Part 2 of Beloved. No reading ticket necessary.

2. Thursday will be a poetry paper/project work day. Bring in any materials you may need.

3. For Friday (Dec 1): Finish Chapter 1 in Part 2 and complete a reading ticket for Socratic. Your ticket can encompass the entire chapter or focus on the second half--whatever works for you. Here's a challenge if you need one: Try focusing on a minor character.

New date! December 12-13: Poetry papers and project are due.
