First and second period worked on sound devices, focusing on the use of rhythm and onomatopoeia in a poem titled “Cat.”
Second period finished up the ballad selection and poetry unit. We discussed a bit the portfolio (which will be turned in 2 December).
Seventh period finished up the test on The Diary of Anne Frank (we didn’t have class yesterday because of Career Day).
