After spending Valentine's Day choosing a love poem for "Steve and Edie's wedding," we shifted gears today and read "Holy Sonnet 10" by John Donne. We spent the class working through the poem, talking about the poetic devices Donne uses (apostrophe, personification, metaphor, paradox...) and developing an understanding of the effect these devices have on our understanding of the poet's stance about death.
We then created an outline for a paragraph, and began writing the paragraph together. We will continue writing the paragraph next day.
A reminder that "Autowreck" annotations are due now. Please get these in to me ASAP.
