Quiet reading.
Two stickie notes: on one write out a metaphor -- on the other write out one difficult vocabulary word.
Mediatation XVII quiz was completed (all of you got great marks!) and we learned who Simon and Garfunkel are. We also learned that Dennis Pfeiffer, my nephew, might try to teach you guys something in an upcoming class.
We learned that poetry and literature CANNOT mean whatever you want it to mean -- there is a range of meanings that are correct.
For example, in the poem/song I am a Rock, the author believes that the walls he's built around himself are beneficial. Really, though, as readers we know that no one can live a fulfilling life by isolating themselves.
No homework was assigned.
Kees, Andrew, Erin, and Jordan B need to hand in their assignment from last day.
