English 1

Today in class, students read for 20 minutes from their novels of choice. Afterward, we finished discussing the narrative poem we read last class, called "Autumnal Equinox", and we also read another catalog poem called "Daily". With both poems, we discussed the importance of imagery in writing, both in poetry and in the narratives the students are currently working on. To end class, students completed a dialogue activity for which they created a conversation between a horse and a bear who met on a deserted country road. Students learned two important rules for dialogue and practiced formatting it correctly in their writing.
