Poetry
- Mrs. F. was here today as a Guest Teacher. She worked with us on a poem, by breaking it into parts, and looking at each one ("Sestina"). We did a lot of discussion of all kinds of topics. :-)
- She worked with us on another poem, Shakespeare's Sonnet 73 ("That time of year thou mayst in me behold").
Organization
- I handed out the Professor Foster chapter ("If It's Square, It's a Sonnet"), as well as the packet of sonnets.
