Poetry Out Loud, on the page, and in our hearts---

We are working on three major things this week:
Analyzing and reciting poetry
Learning about the techniques and history of political satire (prep for reading Candide)
Preparing our group presentations on Medea: presentations to begin Thursday--finish on Friday.

Here is the poetry game we played today with the "great poems" that you all brought to class last week: Please Pass the Poem
Homework: Find one poem on the Poetry Out Loud site that you would like to memorize and recite-- print it out and bring it to class.

Link to video we watched today-- I hope!

Readea Medea Tragedea

We read more of the text today in class. Please catch up to page 40 if you have been gone.

Here is the list we have been working on: literary terms definitions/examples. You should have 15,(fifteen), (quince), (10 + 5),(23-8), in other words, 3(2+5) completed/finished/past tense of the verb "to do"  entries when you get back from Winter Break in order to pass this assignment. We should have quick definitions for all terms available in class by Friday.
We will work on presentations for Medea after we finish the text (Thursday?).  This will be a group activity/assignment and be finished before Christmas Break.  Thanks for your hard work!
