Ballads and narratives today. They are story poems. Many of you seemed familiar with several of Dr. Seuss's narratives. They make some good examples. Of course in class we looked at "Casey at the Bat". It's a classic narrative slice of Americana. Be sure to keep yourself familiar with both of these poem types as well as the other ones we examined this week.
We found out a little more about the Holocaust today. We took a look at the swastika and the Jewish star. I was surprised that many of you were unfamiliar with the swastika. It's an important part of history and you need to know what it stands for.
I asked you a moral dilemma question today. It was tough to answer and it should be. No one should be able to rush to a conclusion on that situation. Seriously, what would you do?
We ran out of time so we will get to the propaganda discussion tomorrow. There's a lot I want you to know.
See you soon.
