English Journal

Good Morning!

“Ah Sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun; Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveler’s journey is done;” (William Blake)


1.  Independent Reading -- The library  opens this Friday.  If you have not made a selection by then, select something from our school library.


2. Netbooks today --  Today I will assign you a netbook, and we will create an English Journal.  You only have to share this document ONCE with me at abaltrushes@gmail.com. NAME this document Period ___ English Journal.  On this document, place your name and period at the top left.  Then type ENGLISH JOURNAL in the middle.  The most recent assignment will always go at the top.

3. English Journal Assignment: Cut and paste the quoted line at the top and explain the poetic devices used in the quoted line at the top.  Include a discussion of symbolism, personification, and alliteration.  (These are terms that we reviewed yesterday.)  After that, give examples of five symbols.
