We wrapped up our short story comparisons last night (nicely done). I’ll have feedback on those Monday.
Today we read four poems: “ALL DISTORTION ALL THE TIME,” “Hazel Tells Laverne,” “Warning to Children,” and “Do not go gentle into that good night.” As we did with the short stories, the goal is to make connections between them, sussing out themes and ideas that they share.
Read back over those four poems this weekend, further annotating and making early connections (the 2nd and 3rd seem to share messages about hope and aspirations, for example, though they are treated very differently). We’ll discuss these connections in class Monday.
