Later on today, I will be updating the blog with our hourly agenda. In the meantime, our upcoming tone unit will feature a plethora of poems. The following will be links to these readings. If these links do not work on your device, you can always google the title and find it on your own.
The idea behind providing you with these readings in advance stems from you understanding the plot and ideas in the poem. You do not have to analyze strategies - we will do that in class together. Feel free to take notes for plot or to print out the passages (that really aided last year's students) and have them in the upcoming days. We will be analyzing these poems in the order given, so I would go sequentially. Remember, this is for plot/idea/word/allusion understanding.
