As mentioned in a previous blog, if you want to have more vocabulary and allusion preparation for our diction texts, I highly recommend gaining ethos on the following terms: Tyrian, Nymph, ardent, Nereid, Ozymandias, unravished, sylvan, Tempe, Arcady, timbrels, pastoral.
1: Finally completed the syntax quiz, which all absentees have 48 hours to take or schedule a time. Then, we read "A Birthday" https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44992/a-birthday, looking at its diction, multiple interpretations, and other strategies. We will be writing a class thesis statement for this text on Monday and then working more with diction.
3: You completed our autumn quote diction analysis by creating specific thesis statements and analyzing the plethora of diction types. If absent, you will need to see me for a handout in order to comp Following that activity, we read Thomas Gray's Cat poem https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44302/ode-on-the-death-of-a-favourite-cat-drowned-in-a-tub-of-goldfishes, which we will break down for diction and thesis statement writing on Monday.
4: Back to the Cat, we analyzed the diction of Thomas Gray's poem and had a chance to look at Shelley's "Ozymandias," creating a shared thesis statement between the 2 poems. Then, we started reading "Ode on a Grecian Urn," which we will finish up on Monday before diving into the letters of Keats.
7: Same as third hour. However, we did start analyzing the diction of "The Cat" and will finish this on Monday.
