We started doing the poem of the week again, and this weeks poem was "Sonnet 146" by William Shakesphere. Each day of the week, we dug a little deeper into the poem and found more elements that are evident in the poem. About halfway through the week, we started another poem, "Ozmandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. At first, I was really confused by this poem because I didn't realize that Ozmandias was a powerful pharroh that ruled an ancient kingdom. I thought he was merely a sculptor. Both of these poems are sonnets, meaning it contains three segments of 4 lines and a couplet, or 2 lines, at the ending. It is kind of a square shape.
I really enjoyed doing the creative writing activity where we switch computers with another person and they get one minute to write the beginning of a story. Then, you switch back and finish that person's story. I loved hearing what everyone started with and how they created a unique story out of it. My critical thinking theory group consists of Lydia, Tino, Emmy, and myself. We are focusing on the philosophical theory, specifically in the story, "King Leer", by William Shakesphere. We worked on answering many questions to give ourselves background on our theory and help us better understand it. This gives lots of background on philosophical theory: http://www.roangelo.net/logwitt/philosophy-origin.html xoxo, Gabby
