Shaking Hands with the Sonnet: September 26, 2018

Focus: What do we need to reflect on to help us progress?

1. Warming up with your first sonnet: "An Echo from Willow-wood"

• Quick title brainstorm
• Moments: Which images, diction, etc. make you pause/take a moment?
• Movement: What patterns can you uncover? Are there any shifts?
• Multiple Meanings: What do you think the poet is trying to do here (tone/themes)?

*A mini break for a puzzle challenge (and metaphor)*

2. Reading and marking up Foster's "If It's Square, It's a Sonnet" 

• How does the form contribute to the poem's meaning?

3. Introducing you to your second Literary Essay: The Sonnet Essay

HW:
1. For tomorrow: 

• Pick one of the four sonnets offered in the packet for your formal metacognitive tomorrow. Bring your charged laptop if you wish to type.

2. For FRIDAY: Read through Chapter 43 and prepare a ticket for Socratic seminar.
