Welcome Back!

Brit Lit:
Today we looked at the poetry of Shelley; specifically reading Ode to a West Wind on Pg. 714-717.

We discussed imagery and symbolism and how they are used in the poem. I asked you to take a mental pulse as how you feel right now, and then list 5 symbolic representations of that feeling.

For each symbol I assigned you to write 1 stanza. The end result was a poem modeled after Shelley's example.

Please finish for HW.

Tomorrow we will begin to wrap up our poetry unit and begin to review for the test on Wed.
