Renaissance to Modern Day: A Look a Modern Poetry

Tomorrow Mr. Wolfe will be sharing some object poetry with us. I think you all will enjoy reading some new poetry and experimenting with writing your own. You might experience some culture shock, moving from the Renaissance to modern day, but it's worth talking about the same poetic techniques and the power that poetry holds.
Come in ready to be creative!

Kudos to all of my Shakespearean dancers today! OK, the washerwoman dance may not have been very fancy, but it was authentic and of the time period! If you browse around the same site (American Ballet Theater/Library of Congress) there are hundreds of dances from all time periods. Also, our readers were wonderful. For those of you looking to get ahead, we will be discussing Act II, scenes i and ii (one and two) on Monday. These are some of the most lyrical and beautiful lines in all of Shakespearean drama.

So for now, adieu! Parting is such sweet sorrow. P.S. If you did not hand in your vocabulary today, I'll take it tomorrow for no penalty....so get it in! (It's on yesterday's post. Definitions are in the literary glossary of terms in our text starting on p. 967. Just write the definition and be able to identify.)
