Poetry Unit Week I

The poetry unit begins with an introduction to three different methods for analyzing poetry: TP-CASTT, SOAPS and DIDLS. We will look at those methods and will be using some of them in the coming months.
We will have an initial poetry assignment due on Friday, which is a look at two poems: "The Legend of the Paper Plates" and "My Mother Remembers Spanish Influenza".
The planner for Thursday 4.10 through next Thursday is now available!

Warning: The next three weeks are going to be intense. Please plan accordingly and take full advantage of the long range planner I have provided for you.

Poetry Unit Starts

After two rounds of testing, we head into an intense poetry unit which covers important elements needed for students planning to engage in the AP curriculum their junior year.
Students can take a cursory look at what is coming with the advanced planner; students will receive this planner along with the weekly planner this Thursday.
Students should also grab the TP-CASTT, DIDLS, and SOAPS handout, something they will definitely want to keep!
