Today, we discussed a poem of your choice and talked through the Say Show Mean exercise. "Dreamers," "Dulce et Decorum Est," and "In Flanders Fields" were all the subjects of dicussion.
Here is a significant recommendation: CIRCLE THE NOUNS IN YOUR CHOSEN POEM. Start looking for patterns in them. Are they references to weaponry? Nature? Duties? Leisure? You can do the same with verbs. If there are symbolic pieces (poppies, torch, etc.), think about the attributes of those items and look up information about them).
Tomorrow is a workday. Tonight, just keep working on your Say Show Mean. Group 2, your notes are here.

ReplyDelete"In Flanders Fields" is missing an end quote.

you wrote "oyour" in the last paragraph when it should should say "on your".
