Dear Mythology Kids,
If you missed class, we completed the following objectives:
1. Students will self-assess their own work, and then evaluate the work of their peers.
We worked in pairs to review the "Comparison Essay." Students did this on an individual basis, and then they evaluated the work of their peers.
2. Students will extrapolate a poem working with a partner, and then analyze the piece on their own. Students were given time to write the analysis in class. We did not complete the analysis, so time will be given on Tuesday to complete the writing portion. If you missed class, the following poem was used as the basis for the analysis.
THIS NEEDS TO BE COPIED and then placed in your journal as JOURNAL #8! THE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWERED in association with the poem.
