1. Warming up with "Here in Katmandu"
- Moment (Which metaphors, words, phrases, images, etc. make you pause?)
- Movement (What patterns start to emerge? Is there an extended metaphor? Where do you see progress, regression, shifts, repetition, circularity?)
- Bonus Round: Look at the last word of each line. What are the mathematical rules of this poem?
- Multiple Meanings (What complex ideas can infer about the speaker, situation, tone, themes?) How does the structure of the poem fit its multiple meanings?
2. Trying out "Sestina" as a class; attacking the multiple choice as individuals
3. Working through some of the harder questions together
HW:
1. For TODAY: Draft your possible culminating essay prompt (you may have several, and that's fine) and start piecing together your book list. E-mail them to me. If you were absent on Thursday, you kind of missed everything. Stop by today or tomorrow.
2. For WEDNESDAY, March 21: Study Academic Vocabulary, Units 1-7 for a cumulative quiz. No new words before spring break. We will Quizlet Live tomorrow before the quiz.
3. For the TUESDAY after break: Complete your big question blog on your British novel.
