Hump day Wednesday! § Please take the handouts from the table. § Please find your assigned group table. § Get out your book and some paper (no fringee paper). § Homework for tomorrow: § Read annotate Chapter 5 about POV.

Poetry Portfolio § Due Wednesday, Nov. 6 by 2: 30. Even if you are absent, your work must get here. There will be a penalty for late work. § Final revised draft (your very best work) goes on top of the original draft and copy of poem. § If you are happy with a grade on the first draft, just turn in the revised versions of the ones want regraded. § If it is a first draft then write “FIRST DRAFT” across top with poem attached so I know. § I put examples on the website for you to look at. While these still need revision, they are doing what they are supposed to be doing.

More thoughts on poems § Don’t analyze the allusion. How does the poem answer the mystery? That is what you are analyzing. § Don’t say things like, “Without this allusion the poem wouldn’t make sense. ” Your job is to make sense of that is there not imagine what would happen if something were missing. § Don’t go beyond the scope of the poem. The poem is about rebirth. However, I am not sure if it goes further by saying there is a god or making the leap to Christianity. While I personally believe this, it may not be the idea of the poem. § When using a possesive “s” it goes like this: § Jesus’s § Nicodemus’s § Don’t just put an apostrophe after an “s” that is already there. You have to put ‘s.

Group Discussion §You have 4 questions to answer. See literature circle discussion questions. §As the group discusses, EVERY one in the group will answer on their own paper. §At the end of hour, I will randomly collect ONE group member’s paper for the group’s grade. So take good notes since you don’t know who will turn in. §Be efficient and have a productive discussion.
