First period worked on poetry. Specifically, we finished up the selections by Jacqueline Woodson and began the next collection of three poems.

Second period spent some time in the library doing research for their cyclops poem and project.

Fourth and sixth periods looked at a second poem by Jacqueline Woodson, “Almost a Summer Sky.” We used this to examine:

• simile,
• repetition,
• and free verse.

Homework

• First period: complete reading the three poems from class (roughly 600-606).
• Second period: none specifically for tomorrow (standing assignment: cyclops poem/project)
• Fourth and sixth periods: answer questions on pages 227-229 in workbook.
