Today Ms. Larisch visited our class, to give us some background information on Advanced Placement English 12. Hopefully, all your questions have been answered, and hopefully many of you will challenge yourself next year with this amazing course!
I then pointed out some important dates to remember:
- Computer Lab - Friday Jan. 18th (for a workshop on video editing programs)
- Lit. Circles summative assessments are due NO LATER THAN Friday Feb. 8th
- Course Selection - Wed. Jan 23rd
Students were then asked to choose one of two poems - "Relics" or "Civilization" - and to annotate the poem, with thoughts and/or information about poetic devices used. I also asked students to offer up an opinion on the poem, and to share with me what your likes/dislikes are about poetry. We will officially begin our poetry unit next class. The information I have gathered from today's activity will help me form the lessons for our unit - I need to know what you already know, in order to know where to take you. If that sounds super intellectual and wise, that's because it is.
