WNB: "To read a poem is to hear it with our eyes; to hear it is to see it with our ears." - Octavio Paz // How do you feel about poetry?
Students used the first 10 minutes of class to complete the work from yesterday ("The Interlopers" short answers).
Students received a test review for next week's lit terms test (scheduled for Friday, 2/23). This review is also available on Classroom.
We began our discussion of poetry with "Collective Nouns for Humans in the Wild" and talked about the recent events in Florida and our own neighboring schools.
Students worked through a packet of poetry and chose 2 to analyze in more detail with their groups: "Mercy" by Rudy Francisco, "Courage" by Anne Sexton, "The Legend" by Garrett Hongo, "Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty, and "Point B" by Sarah Kay. We will continue this work on Tuesday.
