Honors English 12 (September 18, 2007)

In Class:

Period 4A:
Reading/ Discussion/ Overview of The Seafarer


IMAGERY EXERCISE:


Choose two-five consecutive lines in the elegy that have created a vivid picture in your mind. Write those lines on a sheet of paper and illustrate the lines creatively. This is not an exercise based upon drawing abilities, but rather an activity that tests your creativity and brain power.

PS. I like stick figures, that's fine...just be creative!


EXAMPLE:


This tale is true, and mine. It tells

How the sea took me, swept me back

And forth in sorrow and fear and pain,

Showed me suffering...


(your own original illustrated--more creative pic of the lines references)


Period 5:

Finished questions 3, 6, and 11 on page 48--in lieu of a final Beowulf quiz

Began: The Seafarer

If you haven't read pages 55-58 DO IT!

Both Honors English classes...
