HW: Select 5 poems to refine and revise for the Term Portfolio
Thursday, March 4
Introduction to Symbolism and Theme
- vocabulary
- Examples: “The Road Not Taken” and “Fire and Ice”
- Journal Prompt: Just as Frost did with the “road” and “fire and ice”, select an object and shape it into a symbol representing something bigger or deeper. Your poem should turn the object into something more than it once was, and suggest a theme or message through it.
If time: Work on Term Portfolio revisions (remember, they must be typed)
HW: Review terms for vocabulary quiz on March 8th
