The Metacognitive: January 31, 2020

Focus: How does your mind puzzle through a poem?

1. Warming up by getting set up for your metacognitive

• You may either handwrite or type.

• At the top of your document, please include the poem itself, including the title and author. If you're handwriting, please staple the poem to your metacognitive.

• Please use all of the class time given. If the class time is not enough, you can finish up at home tonight. This will count as a timed writing grade.

• Remember the two big goals of the metacognitive:

(1) You should be constantly bringing in words and phrases from the poem. All metacognitives stem directly from the author's language.

(2) You should end in a better place than where you started. What did the process of the metacognitive help you understand better or differently about your poem?

2. Getting metacognitive with your selected poem

• If you handwrote, please turn in your metacognitive at the end of class if you're finished.

• If you typed, please share your Google doc directly with me before you leave class today.

HW:
1. For MONDAY: Please finish your metacognitive if you did not finish in class.

2. For TUESDAY: Read the first two chapters of Part 2 in Beloved and prepare for Socratic with a reading ticket.
