The meat of today's lesson was when students read the story The Bicycle and completed a quiz after break. Students also handed in last day's work on the poem "Envy."
We also did much group work and discussion around the idea of attention to detail. We looked at the famous photograph A Kiss at City Hall and discussed how the photographer captured how time stopped for two lovers during a busy day in Paris.
We also looked at the painting on p. 182 "April Love" and p. 390 "Supper Table". After looking at and discussing specific detail, we were able to come up with possible stories that fit with those poems.
Furthermore, we talked of ambiguity in art and literature.
