Hello, my children of the night. In exciting news, we are almost finished with rhetorical analysis. Do not despair: rhetorical analysis does not go away for good; it will be there in every unit as we move forward.
1: We finished partner/small group analysis of "To a Skylark," noting tones, diction, symbols, similes, and whatever else we found. We then finished our last three words of unit 16, a hodgepodge of words that do not have much overlapping thematic content. Last, you worked with a partner to analyze one stanza in "Ode to a Nightingale," which you will share tomorrow.
3: We finished up our team close read, composing the introduction and conclusion for each team essay. We shared our work, which has improved in active, specific verb usage. Alas, we ran out of time to vocab -- make sure you look over the words before we add the next set tomorrow. "To a Skylark" and "Ode to a Nightingale" tomorrow too.
7: We started vocab unit 16, analyzed "Ode to a Nightingale," and watched me fall out of a chair and bruise my knee! Tomorrow will be the return of the Keats prompt -- your average was over a 6 :)
