Freshmen: Today our focus was on the difference between effective and ineffective repetition in free verse poetry. Your task is to revise your previous four poems for this principle, and compose a fifth and final free verse poem about a first hand experience that adheres to all eight poetic principles we have studied. You will hand these in next period. Read for 20 minutes tonight and Tuesday, work on Membean this week, and take your first Membean quiz Monday night. It has to be taken Monday to get credit for it.
Sophomores: Today we focused on the Tao te Ching from two different angles. The first was by looking at recurrent images, ideas, themes, and figures in the Tao te Ching, which we will come back to at various points this semester. The second was looking for echoes of the Tao te Ching in the various novels we are reading this semester. By the time we are done with Life of Pi, you should have three entries in your Echoes of the Tao assignment. Both will be collected at the end of the quarter.
CNF: Today we finished reading Chapter Three in Blink and will have a seminar on Wednesday.
