Note the distance of this dive!

FRIDAY IN CLASS
Marked completion on the short equivalences for possible meaning of "The Sick Rose."
First part of the poetry terms quiz!  Second part on Wednesday, March 18.
Then groups of students collated their responses to Blake's poem and gave a brief consensus report to the class.
Result: more uniformity than most critics have, though certainly the primary interpretation is "in the running."

SO, for MONDAY
Primary responsibility is to finish reading Act III of Hamlet, and to use the Smaller Questions hand-out as a "check your understanding" guide.

But as a follow-up to the  Blake poem, please do one or the other of the following if you can:

• Find out something about Blake's life and work, particularly his attitudes about the age he was living in.
• Poke around and see what you can find about critical interpretations of  "The Sick Rose."

However, I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you did neither of these things before filling out your "equals" list!
