Class went as follows:
- Opening activity: quick write describing person that walked through class quickly
- Share progress on alphabet books
- Poetry–what is it? Share examples. Focus on enunciation, projection, eye contact and expression.
- Read Blake poetry–The Tyger, The Lamb, The Sick Rose and discuss. Poet is looking at something and asking how it got that way.
- Writing: write a poem in which you are talking to a beautiful and mysterious creature or creation and you can ask anything you want because you speak its language. The creature can answer you if you want it to. If you have lots of questions, you can ask a question in every line of different creatures. It does not have to rhyme.
