Friday, November 2

Freshmen: Today we concluded our study of "Ways Poems". Your task is to choose something - an object, a thing, an idea - and write a ways poem modeled after Wallace Stevens's "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." The idea is to pick something that is ordinary and find what is profound, interesting, or strange. Use some of Stevens's ways of seeing, and invent your own. Personify your object, view it as a metaphor, find its significance. The poem is due on Monday. Also due Monday are the Second and Third Marking Periods with reflections.

Sophomores: We decided on an extension for your reading - it is due on Monday, along with your 3EJ, Echoes, and reflections. Due Wednesday is your essay.

CNF: Today we started to solve a mystery - Who Killed the Electric Car?
