Honors 11--Tuesday January 15

Today in class, we...

• Watched a clip from Stardust
• Filled in more of the Neoclassics vs Romantics chart
• Looked at quotes from the Romantics
• Created a Forms chart on page 26 of the poetry packet 
• Analyzed "Ode on Melancholy," "They say that Hope is happiness," and "The World Is Too Much with Us" in groups. 
• Homework: Write a 12-line poem promoting emotion as a way to learn.  In your poem, use either the same poetic form as the poet you studied today, or use 2 vocabulary words from the poem you studied today, or 1 allusion from it.  It does not need to rhyme.

If you were absent today, then... 

• Copy notes from the Neoclassics vs Romantics chart from a classmate
• Copy the Forms chart from a classmate
• Read through "The World Is Too Much with Us" on page 36 of your packet.  Read through it once aloud and then again for meaning.  Write in the margin a summary of what Wordsworth is saying.  Then, at the bottom of the page, write down the poetic form (hint: there are 14 lines).  Also write down 3 vocabulary words you learned from it and what they mean.  And thirdly, write down 2 allusions from the poem.
• Do the homework.
