Today we began as usual with a journal entry. Then, Ms. Willis went over some grammar work. She focused mainly on the issues that students were having in their writing.
We learned how to SIFT using the poem's from yesterdays packet. I first demonstrated how to SIFT using the poem "Penelope." We discussed the poem together and then I gave you time to SIFT through the poem "Courage." Both poems can be found in the packet from yesterday.
Ms. Willis followed up with a discussion of both poems. She focused on the structure of the two poems as well as the rhyme schemes. Then, she connected each poem back to the theme of heroism.
Both of these poems would be great resources for your paper on "How has the definition of heroism changed?"

- SIFT Method with Ms. Peterson- We learned how to analyze poetry using the SIFT Method. Each student received a poetry bookmark with directions for analyzing poetry. I also gave out a graphic organizer that we used while "SIFTing" through the poems.
