Warren Pryor, Dennis Pfeiffer, Synonyms, Antonyms, Homonyms

Today we practiced our vocabulary skills by completing  a pink worksheet on synonyms, antonyms and homonyms.  Both sides of that worksheet are HOMEWORK and are due on Friday.

Students were taught by my nephew, Dennis Pfeiffer, and learned how to write a literary essay (the yellow handout). Furthermore, we discussed what effective literary writing looks like.

We read and discussed the poem Warren Pryor (p. 70).
Students then began to work on their own literary paragraph assignment.  We will continue to work on this on Friday.

This is the assignment:

Read the poem “Warren Pryor” from the textbook Sightlines 10.  

Your task is to do the following:  referring back to the notes on how to write a literary pargraph, write a literary paragraph in which you discuss the imagery in the poem “Warren Pryor.”
