After QUIETLY listening to announcements, we completed a fun bell ringer...which led to our FUN clicker activity. We studied vocab words by choosing which words would match the descriptions you gave - what fun! Then we wrote for four minutes on how the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" would apply to Holden's outlook on life. Groups got together to discuss this as well. We had just become VERY excited over Frost's INTENTIONAL use of alliteration with the line "Her hardest hue to hold" and how well it conveys the difficulty of preserving innocence. And Sean foreshadowed for us how we will later discuss Frost's allusion to Adam and Eve and the story of The Fall. I know you all are erupting with anticipation now...
Study for vocab...and don't forget to BLOG.

I just remembered that we could comment these... And I still think that Frost didn't mean to put those "alliterations" in the poem.
ReplyDeleteI just read this...and HE DID mean to do it...just as I will mean to BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD the next time I see you! Hmph! By the way, did you "mean" to put those quotation marks around the word "alliterations" or was that just an accident too??????? The written word is VERY intentional. Write with intent. Hey, we should get t-shirts made that say that! WRITE WITH INTENT. Yeah...remind me about that soon!
