English I students worked on “My Papa’s Waltz” to finish out our initial work on connotations in poetry. We worked through the poem to get an initial understanding, and tomorrow we’ll finish pulling out the connotations from the poem.

English 8 students continued with their work on argumentative writing. We have most of our evidence lined up and we’ll finish up the writing tomorrow.

Homework

• English 8 Studies: none.
• English I Honors: come prepared to discuss the darker implications of some of the words in “My Papa’s Waltz.”
