What did we do this quarter?
(3 minute brainstorm)
After everyone had a chance to respond to this prompt, we discussed people's responses and impressions of the quarter. There will be a more organized and formal mode for feedback, but this served as a review for what we have covered so far.
Next, I returned assignment that had been submitted and assessed for quarter one along with updated grade report sheets.
Everyone then had until the last ten minutes of class to work on revisions to their TED Talk analysis.
In the last ten minutes of class we took a look at Robert Burns' poem "To A Mouse" to talk about what makes poetry different from prose writing and how meaning is conveyed in poems. We will continue with this discussion next class.
