"Jazz Fantasia" Rocks! Okay, I think I just mixed my musical genres there, but you get the idea. Doesn't Alan Davis Drake do a wonderful job? There's a link above if you want to see it/hear it again. Hope you enjoyed looking at the mood and theme of the piece. Sandburg is obviously passionate about jazz music. That's one reason why the multiple moods permeate the piece. Archer card signature tomorrow for telling me what permeate means. You also did a nice job of understanding how the moods help to clarify the theme of the piece. Now that we have taken you through that together, I can count on you breaking down a poem like that on your own. Be ready. It's coming! We'll still talk about the piece (Friday? Monday?) to hone in on some figurative language, but then we'll be moving on to something else.
Some of us better review our semi-colon rules. You know who you are.
Do you remember the difference between third person limited and third person omniscient? I hope so. Work first person in there too. You should be able to identify all three easily. In the next few days, we'll be looking at passages and deciding which point of view they represent.
Be sure you are reading your book and completing the assignments. My expectations for the work are sky high.
The big news for tomorrow is the C.A.P.P. Be sure it is typed and double spaced when you bring it to class. The more you have completed the better tomorrow will be for you. I'll spend a bit of time going over the OWL and proper ways to cite, then you will be working with partners editing your papers. We've done this once before. You know what I expect. We will save some time for author's chair as well. Be thinking about sharing a bit of your paper with the rest of us.
Can't wait to see what you have started to produce.
Oh, and don't forget your juxtaposition examples tomorrow.
