English I students worked on their last poem before the test, “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop.

It’s a villanelle, and tomorrow students will spend a little time at the start of the lesson determining the characteristics of a villanelle.

English 8 students worked on what it means when an author “develops” something and what readers are expected to do when given a question about examining “how the author develops” something. We looked specifically at:

• developing the characters
• developing the setting
• developing the conflict.

In the end, it all has to do with details: what details is the author using to illustrate something?
