Looking ahead: Week of November 16, 2009

By Monday you will have completed Part I of Beloved.

On Friday, we began to work in groups to explore the relevant literary elements and techniques.

This week, we will read poetry in addition to our discussion of the text.

This Thursday/part of Friday: practice multiple choice.

Monday, November 23 is our very special poetry installation! You should be working on this independent project.

The basics: select a poet and study that poet in depth. Become an expert! Then, decide how you will communicate your learnings. How will you represent that poet's work? How will you visualize common themes in their poems, or exemplify their message? Make sure your "space" included at least 5 poems. Your installation should have a take-away aspect-- a chance to leave us with an artifact/memory of that poet.
