Freshmen: Today we studied the idea of "Ways" poems further. Due Friday is a "ways" poem of your own, where you examine an ordinary idea in a number of different ways. Look at it in a concentrated manner so that it appears strange or surreal, and see if you can pull out for your reader it subtle nuances.
The major thing we did was begin the research phase of the capstone phase, realistically, the most important phase because if you do well here, you have a great chance at writing and teaching successfully. If not, you will have no information and thus no chance at success. We reviewed Question Based Research by formulating questions we want to answer about our topic on a number of 3x5 cards as a way to guide our research, and will write brief answers on the back as a way to guide our writing. We will do research in class each day this week and next Monday, so be sure to have your sources and cards.
Sophs: Today we concluded viewing Hamlet, and have begun reading it. We focused heavily on understanding Shakespearean language and sentence structure. Read all of Act I for Monday. In conjunction with this, you need to have 5 notes for our seminar as well as one entry for your triple entry journal.
For homework, read the introduction on reading Shakespeare's language, if you haven't already, and finish Act I for Monday, with 5 notes, and one 3EJ entry.
