You received two handouts:
Tone list
Color map
IN CLASS TODAY:
We completed the vocabulary words for unit 4 in the vocabulary book.I distributed the tone list and color map, and had you assign tones to colors (just to get your creative juices going), and then assign tones to the voice in your poem.
It may have seemed like a bit of self-indulgent silliness to proceed this way, but the thing to understand about poems is that they tend to be intense emotional snapshots more than they are simply ploy driven. Because they have that different agenda, you have to pay careful attention to emotional subtleties going on in the poem, and small shifts in the speaker's attitude. We'll be doing closer analysis of your poems tomorrow to make sure you really know what the poems are saying, and can present them with the seriousness of purpose and depth of understanding they deserve.
