Tuesday - 10th Grade Classwork and Homework



NOTICE: New extra credit for the week.  Read the e. e. cummings poem and try to explain or comment about it.

Classwork:

We reviewed Monday's test on literary devices.
Write about a time you made a decision with your heart rather than your head.
Read "since feeling is first" in your textbook.
We decided what the poem meant line by line, and how the speaker feels about love.
Answer the following questions:
- What does the line "life's not a paragraph" mean to you?
-What does the line "death i think, is no parenthesis" mean to you?

Homework:

Pick a grammatical term (comma, sentence, conjunction, exclamation point, etc.) and describe what it means figuratively.

REMINDER: I am checking your sources for your poetry project tomorrow.  If you do not have biographical information, lyrics, or albums to show me, I will begin taking off late points.
