Into Hampstead

1: You worked with autumn diction, identifying types and purposes, creating specific thesis statements, and analyzing how these words impact the text. Following that activity, we had a chance to read Thomas Gray's ode to that pesky feline, which we will analyze for diction tomorrow.

3: We completed "Ode on a Grecian Urn," divided into groups to identify the types of diction per stanza, and created a thesis statement covering the poem's entirety. To continue with Keats, I provided you with background of his life and his home in Hampstead. For homework, close read the first letter of the packet in preparation for tomorrow. If you are on a field trip, you are expected to pick this packet up.

4: Two hours back to back with Keatsy :) For this class, I presented the diction and purpose analysis for letter 1 and then gave you letters to analyze in the same fashion. Then, you shared your diction adjectives and purpose for each letter, which must be all important to know for your next prompt. We will finish up the letters on Thursday - and wrap up diction - and start tone!

7: Same as third hour - at least two of the classes are on the same page!
