DAY 2 - CYCLE 9 - SEMESTER 2

I was out today (Friday, April 3rd), so Mrs. Basson subbed for me. According to her:

1. You diagrammed odd # sentences from Lesson 19 in the sentence diagramming workbook.
2. You did a long and deep analysis of "Anthem for Doomed Youth" by Wilfred Owen, focusing on the images raised in the poem. Remember that an "image" in poetry is something that appeals to any of the five senses, not just the visual sense.
3. You discussed what it means to "parse" something.
4. You covered the vocabulary terms in the poem: anthem, pall, orisons, pallor, shires.
5. You did NOT review the Say-Show-Mean exercise, which was supposed to be the focus of the day, so we'll work on that on Monday.
6. Group 2 read aloud "Dulce et Decorum Est" and "The Parable of the Old Man and the Young," but Groups 4 and 6 did not.
7. FOR HOMEWORK, you were asked to write one paragraph for EACH stanza of the poem, answering the question, "What does the stanza SHOW?" You were to use three quotes per paragraph.
