Rehearsal & The Thief of Always

Please use period 3 to rehearse for your upcoming poetry performance next class. Your pieces (while not needed to be memorized, although you can memorize if you'd like) should be well rehearsed, polished, with the use of effective gestures, facial expressions, appropriate eye contact, volume, voice, and tone.

During period 4, please read chapter one of The Thief of Always together with the teacher. As you read, list at least three examples where the author uses imagery. Imagery, by the way, is not just useful in poetry--but prose as well. It is like a breath of fresh air to a suffocating penguin.

After reading chapter 1, please get into groups of 3-4 and continue your reading for the remainder of the period. You should complete chapters 1-4 by next class. Please turn in your imagery examples by the end of class.

HOMEWORK: Please complete chapters 1-4 in The Thief of Always. Feel free to try any of the journal exercises on the handout. Be prepared to perform your group poems next class.
