We are spending a lot of time clarifying what exactly we need to do for our projects, because there was a lot of confusing surrounding it. We have been doing close reads on poems, which is taking detailed notes and observations while reading the poem. It helps us break the poem down and understand it easily, but it is very time consuming. I actually have really enjoyed all the poems we read that have for structure and point of view. We still have not made a claim and connected evidence in our poems to the topic of structure or point of view. I think this project will end up being helpful because it gives us practice close reading poems and finding literary elements in poems and stories. I am still a little confused though and I know some of my classmates are too. I just do not really know what the presentation is supposed to look like or be formatted like. Is there a specific outline we are supposed to follow for our presentation or is it completely up to us?
We also did a lot of SSR time this week. I am still struggling a little bit with my book, The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy. It jumps around way too much and is very hard to keep up with. All of the names in the book are Indian, so I also struggle with remembering who is who and who does what. To me, a lot of the parts in the book do not make sense. xoxo, Gabby
