Today, we prepared for reading the poem "How I Learned English" by reviewing four poetic terms: free verse, simile, imagery, and onomatopoeia. We defined each term, and then as we read the poem, we looked for examples of each. Also, we spent time reviewing some of the baseball jargon used in the poem. We will continue working with the poem next class.
Then, I distributed a "First Impressions" page, to be completed for Thursday's class. The form is to be used to prepare notes for discussion on your novel you are reading with your group. If you didn't get one, there is a link to the handout at the side.
