3 day workweek; 5 day weekend

 The final poetic piece you will write in English 11 is a reverse poem.

It is due on May 28th but if you submit May 26 you get a bonus mark and you will get more bonus marks (still figuring that out) if you memorize and recite to the class.

Reverse poems must have the following:

An original title

Be hand written or typed and submitted at the START of class.

Include a minimum of two poetic devices.

19-25 lines; you may write more than 25 but no less 19 lines.

Correct spelling.

A single word may be a line of poetry but only once

Act 3 scenes 1 and 2 (with questions) for Monday.

Logs, Logs, Logs and "Our royal master's murdered"

He climbed trees: the spirit of a leopard within him.
His body was lean, lithe, muscular, and quite trim.
His fingernails dug deep into each bark's outer rim
This talent he'd picked up started out as a mere whim.
He dexterously scaled the evergreens, limb by limb.
But oh no! he missed a branch, fell till the lights got dim.
Now we dedicate our bouldering to the life of dear Jim.

Time to get quizzed on the second Act of "Macbeth"

Study the quotes well and say a prayer under your breath.

quiz on Wednesday

 Act 2.

(that's all)

Fridays got me like ...

 

40 questions to complete on using 'economy of words'
cross out all the extra stuff that are essentially 'turds'.
Sorry that's a lame one, but words is hard to rhyme
and sometimes I don't feel like spending a bunch of time-
especially on a Friday when I am trying to Peace Out!
Hope this don't put my poetic skills into questionable doubt 
Hey 'questionable doubt': an example of needless repetition
Doubt works fine. No need for the 'questionable' addition.
Okay so wrapping this up, let's review, um, let me see...
finish the questions for Macbeth Act two, Scene three. 

☮

Report Cards! Oof

 The Teacher said "No homework tonight."

To all of her student's elation and delight,

Except poems where words are covered in black

Not finished? Then go add those to the stack.

I'll be reviewing Macbeth and your 'thin paragraph'

My work is complete should be everyone's epigraph.

It's just...

 Macbeth Act 1 quiz tomorrow.

What is MAN that You are mindful of him?

Macbeth's getting called out by his wife,
Which makes him decide to stick the knife
In the King. Poor Thing! Who can withstand
A woman who belittles with such command?
Quiz on Tuesday (but likely the day after),
When you feel ready enough to write with laughter
at the ease of the questions, I will pose before you,
You'll ask, "Is this all you've got? Ha! Give me two!"
Well, I hope you'll feel that way, see I want you prepared,
Don't like when students walk into a quiz feeling scared.
So complete the front side of the "Find It Assignment",
but do it and the worksheet outside, no bedroom confinement!
