English 8 began a three-day overview/review of figurative language before we begin our next unit next week. We read “The New Colossus” to see examples of similes, metaphors, allusions, and alliteration — some of the basics of poetry.

This corresponds with our immigration unit and forms the conclusion as the poem itself is on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.

English I students worked on the balcony scene, looking at seven different performances of various portions of the scene. This will be the basis for our third-quarter extra credit options.
