Monday

Congratulations on finishing the orals!

Today, first, choose a group of five. Ms. R, assign each group a poet: Andrew Marvell; John Keats; Alfred, Lord Tennyson; or Sylvia Plath. Then take a quiet field trip to the media center and do 20 minutes worth of research on one of the poets to present on Wednesday. Come back to class after 20 minutes.

Then, read this poem and respond to it in one thoughtful, text-dripping page. At the very end, explain the colon, comma, and semicolon use in the first! second sentence of these instructions.
