Today in first period we went over our homework from over the weekend.We then read a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson called, “Ring Out, Wild Bells.” This poem is on page 611.We went through the steps to figure out how to understand the poem. We got into groups of 2 or 3 and discussed this poem. We then thought up a phrase that only had 6 words in it to describe the whole poem. The one that the class agreed was the best one was, “replace the bad with the good.”

Homework

• For today’s homework, we have to read over “Ring Out, Wild Bells,” and count how many syllables there were in each line and try to find a pattern.
• We also have to go on page 612 and answer questions on the three poems that we have read in the literature book so far.
