The "Four Seasons" activity from Wednesday was collected from those who had not already turned it in. If you were absent, make sure to turn it in when you return to school.
We reviewed the terms lyric poem, hyperbole, narrative poem, free verse and internal rhyme and made sure we had our definitions correctly recorded on our Poetry Terms Sheet. If you were absent, these words are in the glossary in the back of the textbook you were issued.
We read the poem Casey at the Bat and the poem I Hear America Singing. Students were given a questions worksheet about these poems and the poems we read on Wednesday. If you were absent, all of the poems can be downloaded from here:
Download Casey at the Bat text
Download Uphill by Christina Rossetti2
Download Summer by Walter Dean Myers 2
Here is the worksheet:
Download Poetry Questions casey, uphill, summer, america, ecclesiastes2
If you were absent, you need to read these poems and do the worksheet. If you were in class, the worksheet is due at the beginning of the period tomorrow. ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCES!
Vocabulary Quiz #8 will be on Tues. 1/24. It WILL NOT be cumulative; there will be no words from previous units.
