The buds are budding and the sun is shining–and had another great class with this group!
We started with Visual Vocabulary. Today’s words are: catalyst and deleterious.Our vocabulary is growing–we only have one more installment of Visual Vocabulary before the end-of-semester quiz. Use this week to catch up on any essays/compositions that are overdue.
Writing
Today, we took some time to analyze the poem “I’m Nobody–Who are you?” by Emily Dickinson. We watched a video about her life and discussed how her poem reflected some aspects of her life. As homework, students will try to write their own “I am __________” poem in her style. We can learn a lot when we imitate great writers!
Literature
We had a Poetry Devices Scavenger Hunt. After discussing different Poetic Devices like onomatopoeia, imagery, and enjambment, we practiced identifying devices together in the large group. After that, I assigned groups and they were given time to read and “scavenge” their own poems for different devices. We had time for a few station rotations of this. I hope they found some favorites among the batch.
Grammar
After that, I handed out two worksheets on italics and quotation marks. Students had some time to work the worksheets in class. They are due next week.
That is all!
Blessings,
Mrs. G
