Head’s Up:  If you have not yet handed in any assignments so far, you must do so by Wednesday April 10th.  If you are missing any tests or quizzes, these need to be written by Wednesday April 10th as well.

*Analyzing Poems:  In groups, you will be going through the analyzing poetry resource and applying it to the three poems we studied:  “Walking on two Sides of the Border”, “What do I remember of the Evacuation”, and “Caged Bird”. You were to do this on Office 365/google docs so you would all have access.  Where did we get to on this?

*After the analysis of the three poems is complete, you will continue with your group and create a three way venn diagram.  Each circle on the diagram will represent one of the three poems we have been studying.  Your task is to find the similarities/differences between the poems.  You will be doing this on large paper so that we can post around the room for a gallery walk.
