We started off today with an exercise on integrating quotations; this will help you for your Provincial Exam. After that, I went through a PowerPoint presentation on figurative language and literary devices. As an example of alliteration, we watched Daniel Radcliff rap "Alphabet Aerobics". Please keep these notes to study!
We then analyzed the poem "Meditation xvii" and looked at the significance of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (through Earnest Hemingway and Metallica). We also analyzed the poem/song "I am a Rock" and watched a live performance video by Simon & Garfunkel. Students had questions and a chart to complete. Please finish this for next class.
Reminders:
- English Provincial Exam: Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015 (a.m.)
