Latin Roots QUIZ

Good luck!

First Poetry Reading

Today we read William Butler Yeats' poem, The Stolen Child.

Here is the text here.

Here is a "creepy" video that I found on youtube which is kind of interesting.


Please be ready to finish discussing it tomorrow. Also make sure that you all are studying for the Latin Roots quiz tomorrow.

Here is the process for reading poetry in an academic manner.

1. Title Analysis


2. Read poem aloud


3. Scan and define unfamiliar words


4. Reread and summarize


5. Analyze literary quality of poem




• Characters


• Setting


• Conflicts


• Main Idea


• Theme


• Author's Purpose




6. Analyze Literary Elements




• Metaphors


• Similes


• Imagery


• Diction


• Personification

More to come tomorrow.

Introduction to Poetry Outline

Today we opened up our Literature books to page 923, which begins the poetry unit, to help us make a thorough outline as a foundation for reading some great personal, historical, and interesting poetry. Please refer to the previous posts for information on how to construct a successful outline.

Moreover, know that you will be judged on the following criteria:

• Coverage




1. Did you unclude all the terms in the unit(it isn't as many as you think.)




• Format




1. Did you follow the proper spacing and character sets previously modeled?




• Quality




1. Did you thoroughly define, explain, and give examples for all the terms in your outline or the unit(it isn't as many as you think.)

Also, if you checked the website you are in luck, for you now know that the Latin Roots quiz will be postponed until Friday! Aren't you lucky!
