Pre-AP
We began talking about poetry in today's class, using Wordsworth and Coleridge's definition of poetry ("The spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings recollected in tranquility") as a basis to try and answer the difficult question, "What is poetry?"
Homework: Students are to use the TAP-CASTT model of poetical analysis (given in class) to write an analysis of Walt Whitman's "O Captain! my Captain!" which can be found on page 6 of their poetry packet.
Students also need to procure their copy of Golding's Lord of the Flies by Monday, April 23rd.
AHSGE Reading Review
Students continued to learn about the modern implications of ancient Greek mythology in today's class.
