We spent this morning going over the answers to the questions on the poem, "The Blizzard." We talked about strategies for reading poems, to make them easier to understand. For example, be sure to read using punctuation as your guide, and not the ends of lines.
Then, I distributed a poem called "Remembered" and we read it over and discussed who the subject of the poem might be. We used the details of the poem to help ourselves make the inference that the "he" in the poem was likely an older man, probably the grandfather of the speaker. We will conclude our reading and discussing this poem next class, and then do some focused work with poetic devices, using the poem.
