Outside reading book check. Have your outside reading book with you and have two other people reading your book. It will be a participation point today. Next week it will be a participation negative point.
Reflective essay assigned. Language book p 28. We made a list of people who might be significant people in your life. Have one line written for at least one of them stating their significance. We read in the language book from page 28 through 31.
Descriptive/ evaluative; snapshots.
Death be not proud ( 348) Literature book. Summarize, theme, difficult/ strong lines, author’s skills. We did not write a full page on this. We only discussed it in class. The discussion involved enough people that we did not require writing. Good job.
John Donne
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so,
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, 5
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, 10
And poppy, or charms can make us sleep as well,
And better then thy stroke; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
