EAR

1,3,4,7: After the completion of the team tone maps for "The Children's Hour," we read "Richard Cory" and "Miniver Cheevy" by Edwin Arlington Robinson, or EAR as I like to reference him (please don't write EAR as the author's name in your analysis:) ). Both of these poems are widely available online, so never fear that you need a hard copy to be caught up in class. For tomorrow, you have one of these poems assigned to your for an individual tone map, you will be noting shifts by lines (such as we did with the "Chicago" sample in class), and finalizing the map and analytical paragraph for class. Ben, you have "Miniver Cheevy,"  and John, since we have an odd number in your class, you can chose either of the poems to do.

P.S. Don't forget to read "To a Skylark" and "Ode to a Nightingale" so that you understand the ideas of the text, know any vocabulary not in your ethos-level, and can recognize the allusions present in the texts. And, as with all of our "Nest Loved Poems," you can find all of these pinnacles of literary merit online, so need to wait for any readings.
