Exhaustion
The
tree leaned into the wind
Fighting against a force it did not
understand
An endless battle of two of nature’s
forces
A battle with many casualties
Like the Alamo
People were dying left and right
Dropping like flies
Hurt to my eyes
Hurt to my heart
Pieces so far apart
Like a puzzle I used to put together
Oh hey, how about this weather?
The birds were singing and the sun was
shining
And a warm breeze blew through the
air
I took a deep breath and continued on
my journey
Giving all my attention to the bald
eagle flying above me
I
gave no notice to the happenings around me
I fell into a dreamless sleep, the
day finally collecting its toll
Like a smugly satisfied turnpike
operator
Grinning madly from inside his glass
booth.
Writing a Class Poem Guidelines
1.
Respect the line you’re given; follow
the idea(s) you’re presented with.
2.
Write a fresh line each time you
receive a poem; don’t have a theme or word you put in every time you get a
poem.
3.
Use only appropriate language and
topics (no beer, bodily functions, sexual innuendos, etc.)
4.
Look only at the one line in front of
you; fold the poem after you write so that your line is the only one the person
to your right sees.
5.
Don’t pass until you hear the signal.
6.
Initial in the left margin each line
you write.
When the Poem is Two People Away from the Person Who
Started It
1. Write the last
several lines of this poem, based on the line you see.
2. Pass it to your
right.
3. When you get
yours back, read the whole poem carefully.
4. Edit as needed
(gender and tense shifts, etc).
5. Give it a
knock-out title (NOT “My Crazy Class Poem”, etc.).
6. Raise your hand
if you want to read yours aloud.

College-Prep
Skill: Note-Taking
1.
I
put you in groups for a reason: the
people in your groups have some different note-taking strategies from you.
2. I want you to circle up, and I want you to pass your
notes around the circle, until everyone has see all of them.
3. Then I want you to have an ACADEMIC discussion about how
your notes are different.
4.
Big
Question: Is someone doing something
strategic in his/her notes that would help YOU be a better note-taking?
5.
Why
are we doing this? This is important for this DVD, because there
is lots of excellent information here.
But this is also important for who you’re going to be at college next
year. You NEED TO HAVE STRATEGIES for
taking helpful notes.
6.
What
will you do differently today when you watch the DVD? What helpful strategy were you reminded of by
someone in your group?
7. Draw a line after yesterday’s notes.
8. Date your new notes with today’s date: 11/15/2013.
9. Write me a sentence about what you’re doing differently
today when you watch the DVD (lecture) and take notes.
Ø DVD VIEWING: Move the
chairs to make four rows of three, right in front of the screen.
Quiz:
Greek and Roman Names of Gods and Goddesses
Use capital letters for your answers.
