November 1 & 2

November 1
We read the poem "Poetry reading at Westpoint" and discussed whether and why is was a poem. Then we turned to the grammar books and did lesson 20 on the subordinate clause. We started lesson 21 on the adverb/adjective clause but did not finish.

November 2
We started with a quiz on poetry terms and marked it. The next quiz will be next Thursday. It was also quiz re-do day and some people took advantage of that. We read some notes on appreciating poetry and then read 2 poems and discussed the figurative language/themes of each. The poems were Alanis Morrisette's You Learn and All Star by Smashmouth. Homework was to highlight all the figurative language, cliche' slang, etc. in the poem. Work on your flashcards.
