March 18 and 19

Sophomores: We focused on character analysis and close reading, matching characters from PWB with particular archetypes. We will conclude this after the break. Finish page 311 by March 28.

Freshmen: We learned about creative responses to art as a way of crafting poetry. You are to find a work of art and write two separate poems in response to it, each one in a different motif that we studied today. You should then find a way to combine the work of art and your poems, thereby creating your own work of art (put them on a poster board, make a book, put it on a slide show, etc. - how you do it is up to you) that you can present the day we return. You should also be gathering up your sources, reading them, and answering questions on your note cards. All research is due March 31.
