Hello Class!

For homework tonight:

Smith suggests that you have an outline of both your thesis and intro paragraph

At the bare minimum you should have ideas about what your topic for the essay is

If you are ahead, a good place to be is- 1. already have your intro paragraph and thesis done and then have quotes for the first body paragraph

SAT #8 exercises and study

What did we do today?

1. We watched the video poem, “Pass On” and analyzed it
1. When you die, only your body goes. The poem recognizes that you become a wind.
2. When you die, it means that your greatness was too much for your ‘vessel’.
3. Related it to LWG, LOF, and Othello
2. We read the poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay” and analyzed it
1. Related it to both “Pass On” and LOF, Othello and LWG
3. We read the poem, “War is Kind” and analyzed it
1. Related it to both “Pass On,” “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” and LOF, LWG, and Othello

You can find all of these poems on Smith’s calendar on Week 11 Tuesday!

The rest of the class was dedicated to writing a poem or reflection/reaction to the pictures that child soldiers drew. You can find these pictures on Smith’s calendar today and on the blog.

Hope this helped any absentees…!
