Meet the Poetry Project/Paper: November 6, 2019

Focus: How can we use our own creativity to analyze another author's creativity?

1. Warming up by meeting the poetry paper/project and starting to browse poetry
  • Please finalize your poem selection by next Friday, November 15; you will perform a metacognitive this day.
  • Old School: Books and anthologies

2. Reading time (or, if you're caught up in the reading, poem-perusing time)

3. Wrapping up by starting to think about your new Big Question Blog Post

HW:
1. BY TODAY, 4:00: 
  • Submit your printed sonnet essay with the completed checklist stapled to the top.
  • You will also have your last 30 minutes of reading time this day, so bring your book.

2. FOR FRIDAY: Finish East of Eden! Complete your final reading ticket by doing the following:
  • Select one motif (water, apples, the color gray, Cain & Abel, etc.).
  • Describe where the motif has shown up previously, and address where/how it comes into play in the final chapters (include quotations/page numbers).
  • What has this motif contributed to the meaning of the work as a whole. In other words, why do you think Steinbeck developed this particular motif?
3. BY MONDAY: Bring your charged laptop to class on Friday to compose your Big Question Blog on East of Eden; complete your next Big Question Blog for East of Eden to prepare for Monday's timed writing.
