This week, we focused on making connections in a poem. We looked closely at the wording and language in the poem, The Eagle, to gather ideas about what it may be conveying and how it conveys this to the readers. It gave me the chance to interpret the poem in my own way and dig deeper into it. We were able to get into groups and discuss our ideas, which gave me new perspectives on the poem. Some of the ideas were really unique and I would have never thought of the poem in that light. The Eagle is a short poem that has a lot of depth to it. It can symbolize power, darkness, and a fall from grace. We were also able to get into groups and discuss our summer reading books. We connected the two literary pieces to the first book we read, How to Read Literature like a Professor. It allowed us to find connections between the two books and look below the surface of the context. We started a pre-write with our groups to gather ideas for our paper. The paper explains all of our ideas about how the books connect and relate back to each other. This is a link to the poem, The Eagle. See what comes to your mind when you read it. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/45322 xoxo, Gabby
