First and sixth periods completed yesterday’s work with Schaffer paragraphs about alliteration in “Silver.” We’ll be continuing the poetry unit after the break.
Second and fourth periods completed the poetry unit. All that’s lacking is the final project: the sonnet.
Seventh period worked on their own poetry.
Homework
Unfortunately, I’m not kidding — not for second and fourth periods, which have three things to complete over the break, maybe four, conceivably five:
- Go over “The Ballad of Birmingham” assignment.
- Complete the sonnet. The rubric is here. Make sure you download and use this template for your sonnet (it is in Word and Open Document formats in this zip file).
- Complete the “Works Cited” page for the Mockingbird unit.
- Begin preparing for the midterm exam, using the study guide.
- Work on the assignment to raise your tone vocabulary quiz grade.
