When the teacher disciplines the boy for writing poetry (in the first song, as we saw in yesterday's video clip from "The Wall"), the boy's words are the lyrics for "Money" -- another Pink Floyd song. As you listen to both tunes today, ask yourself what you and your classmates think about while you're supposed to be thinking about what the teacher tells you. Why is money and a fantasy world of success more compelling to the boy in the song/movie than the area of an acre? What elements of the life you imagine for yourself grab your attention, no matter what else is going on around you?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Preview of coming attractions through Friday
3. Copy your group's poem
4. Answer the basics on your own paper/blog:
- What is the significance of the title?
- What is the tone of the poem?
- What is your mood as you read it?
- Is there a Shift? Where? From what to what?
- What is the theme of the poem?
1. Post the answers to your poetry questions (title: INTRO TO POETRY) with a brief (2-4 sentence) explanation of how thinking about these questions helped you understand the poem.
2. Work on literature analysis #3
