I. Organize your notebook. SEE NOTEBOOK STRUCTURE CHART (on blog). AS INDICATED IN CLASS THIS SHOULD BE PRIORITY #1!
II. Review your poetry unit notes. Study the terms, styles, and philosophies...
III. Annotate and study your Poetry Recitation Project Poem. Use the 'How to Memorize a Poem' handout for tips. See me if you need assistance. 100% OF POEM DUE 4/13 [A], 4/14 [B]
IV. Read, annotate, and analyze 'Making a Fist' by Naomi Shihab Nye (click link for expanded biography). When analyzing DO NOT USE THE INTERNET (trust me...I will know). Analyze the poem using Annotation Marks and the TP-CASTT Method of Analysis (as discussed in class...see handouts and model).
Don't forget to read the poem FIRST. This is a REAL assignment so if you don't 'do it' you may lose points. Complete the Personal Response assignment after you have completed the analysis work. Read the format guide sheet.
