Indulging in Imagery: August 28, 2019

Focus: How can we use imagery to unearth complexity in poetry?

1.  Indulging in the imagery in "Terminus" to complicate the metaphor

2. Forming thesis statements that address the COMPLEX attitude of the speaker; using the rubric to shape our thesis statements

HW:
For Friday:

• Reread Books 10, 11 and 12 in The Odyssey and prepare a Socratic ticket.
• For this week's ticket, please focus on one scene from Books 10, 11, or 12 (in other words, about 3-5 pages). You must use the Wilson translation.

• Fill a page with questions about this scene (diction, allegory, characterization, Foster stuff, etc). You can also ask fewer questions and brainstorm your responses underneath. Handwriting or typing is fine.

• Complete your next poetry response. If you type it, print it before class.

• BRING YOUR COPY OF THE ODYSSEY TO CLASS on Mondays and Fridays. You need to be reading the Emily Wilson version; let me know if you need to check out a school copy.
