We discussed the poem of the week. Students should not have simply summarized the poem, they should have written a response to the poem. They should have annotated the poem. Annotation is where students underline, mark, highlight, and write in the margin of the poem so that what they are thinking and feeling makes sense. They should have been looking at 1. Setting, 2. Theme, 3. Author bias, 4. Mood of the poem.
In class, we read "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury. The link is here.
We discussed this Prezi and wrote the first part of an essay.
