English I Honors students began looking at tone by examining one of the most famous poems ever written, Dylan Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.” We’ll be working on it some more tomorrow.

English 8, after working on this week’s AOW, put the last piece of the puzzle in for the work we’ll be doing all year by working on a post-reading engagement called “Someone Wanted But So.”

Homework

• English 8: 
  • read chapter 5 from Nightjohn;
  • complete three lines of “Somebody Wanted But So.”
• English I Honors: 
  • work on analytic paragraph (optional — see above)
  • be ready to present about your stanza of the Thomas poem, explaining:
    • where the bracketing can occur;
    • why you bracket there;
    • what the text itself means.
