Sweet Remembrancer!

Back in the saddle, creating one couplet at a time,
Seems I get a little kick out of making my posts rhyme.

An army of resisters is gathering around Macbeth,
Guess there's only so much one can take of unwarranted death.
That conflict happens in the final scene of Act Three,
But studying this whole Act is the only way to be.
Cuz the quiz on Tuesday will be a test of your will,
It will challenge your character memorization skill.
The Find It Review Sheet was given to all,

If you complete it, you'll earn a marbled ball.

And don't forget your reverse poem, due the end of May

It's a tricky one to do, but one I know you will slay!!

P.S James 1:13-15

The journey ahead will take us 5 days to complete

 Act Three, Scene Three complete question two
and the economy worksheet: one more thing to do.
I enjoy this website here, its called "My Shakespeare",
and this one too, I find is better than "No Fear"
If you like The Office, check this link for a 'lol',
The one about Macbeth is very 'on the ball'!

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.
