In addition to the work "For All Students,"
--Go over "Compound Subjects and Verbs." You may use either pg. 43-44 of your Language Network book, OR this website: http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000026.htm . Be sure you learn them well, because the GWB section on the same information will be graded when you complete it next week.
Continuing with our Poetry Unit...
--Please read the poetry definitions on this page: http://www.gardendigest.com/poetry/quoap1.htm and on this one: http://www.quotegarden.com/poetry.html
Write out the two you most agree with, and explain why.
--Read the poem, "A Theme for English B" (Lit. book pg. 467-468 OR on the website here: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~keith/poems/English_B.html). Write in response to each of the following questions: What are your impressions of the author? What kind of diction does the writer choose for this poem, and why? Looking at the four poems we have read this week, which one was the most effective for you, and why? What about effectiveness for other audiences?
--Select a theme or issue that you have seen in your life. Write a poem of at least 8-10 lines, address this theme. You may choose level of diction, and rhyme scheme or free verse.
