English I students looked at metaphors closely, winding up the poetry unit.

Today we focused on the function of metaphors: the vehicle/source always adds some meaning to the tenor/target. Students worked to determine these three things in a passage from As You Like It.

English 8 students began combining motifs and themes together as part of a project concluding our Nightjohn unit.

Homework

• English 8: work on the article of the week as necessary.
• English I Honors: 
  • complete tenor/vehicle identification work from “All the World’s a Stage” passage;
  • identify tone before and after tonal shift in “The Fish” and determine the lyric moment/epiphany of the poem (in preparation for Friday’s test);
  • work on IXL practice (see previous update).
