Today, a guest poster (who’ll be posting regularly for English Studies, first period) covered what first period did, though he left out the motivation: the purpose of the odd-sounding exercise was to provide a technique (and some practice) to take even the most mundane topic and transform it into a lengthy journal entry.  Not only first but second and third periods worked on this as well.

Fourth period continued with their sonnets.

Homework

Fourth period: complete sonnet paraphrase.
