Today in class:
We read our plague poetry assigned for HW.
We discussed how emotion is the necessity of all poetry. Our emotional response to death is a defining part of being human.
Each of you were given a future plague story that was not your own.
You had two choices:
Write three stages of poems based on the three stages of plague progression that we detailed the last 2 days: The beginning, The Spread, the ending death.
Or
You were asked to write one page detailing your place within this fiction.
Next week we will be looking at a very different emotion: love.
HW: Finish your writing responce/pem responce if needed.
