TODAY IN CLASS
1.  Quiz on the second half of the poetry terms.  Make this up ASAP if you missed it; tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. sharp is strongly encouraged.
2.  An untanglement of the syntax for the first sentence of Book I of Paradise Lost (16 lines): write out a clear paraphrase that shows a much more clear and direct word order, together with an understanding of how the grammatical elements of this sentence fit together.  If you were absent, write this out on your own paper and bring it to class tomorrow.
3.  Some pairs/group evaluation of these rewritten sentences.

FOR TOMORROW
  • Read Chapter 1 in the poetry section of Perrine. :  657-678
  • As you read, continue to "read through" the poems in this chapter as well.  For the poems on pp. 666-677* (only those, NOT any of the earlier ones), select THREE and write answers to the questions about that poem in your notes.  Answers may be informal/not in complete sentences, etc., but you should be able to be held quickly accountable for your knowledge and understanding of the three poems you choose.
*Corrected page range

Obviously have PL with you tomorrow in class, but no homework on that tonight.
