To seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield. - Ulysses

Wonderful Wednesday!

Block A: Great work on your LOTF survivor challenge #2! Your islands look great!!! Check twitter for pictures. Homework tonight is to read chapter 2 and complete your sticky notes. Refer to yesterday's blog post to recall the types of reading strategies to use on your notes.

Block C: And so the plot thickens... homework tonight is to finish the plot line for Tell Tale Heart if not done in class, and to complete the creative writing exercise on plot points.

Block D: Today we made an inquiry into the sound that poetry makes - we listened to a collection of poets read their poems and then wrote about our reactions to the process. If you did not complete the response, here are the questions:

1. Name 2 things you found interesting - what did you think was cool or good about hearing the poets? You must explain why and be specific!

2. Name something specific you thought was weird or not good about hearing the poets. And please explain why.

3.  What did you think of hearing the poets read their own work? Explain what the experience was like for you.

4. Which poem or poet was your favourite? Explain why.
