Everyone was working today to begin unpacking their poem by annotating it and using the "Unpacking Your Poem" sheet to analyze their poem (see below). I met individually with people to talk about their poems and we spent some time talking about figurative language, denotation, connotation and tone.
Handouts:
Unpacking Your Poem
Figurative Language help sheet
Homework:
Complete your annotations and the unpacking your poem sheet on your Poetry Out Loud poem.
Work on memorizing your poem in preparation for our class recitation on Thursday, Nov. 20th and Friday, Nov. 21st.
