Thursday September 10

First we will read and listen to "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost on p.33 in Stunt and talk about the poem.

Then:

You are to take a walk outside. The only thing you can take with you is a pen and a notebook / piece of paper. While you are outside, walking, you must think about the questions below and write down keywords.

- What do you see? (People, houses, cars, trees, etc)

- What do you hear?

- What do you smell?

- Describe the road you are walking along (size, function, location, physical appearance)

- Where does this road lead you?

Use your keywords and write a poem which you post on your blog.

No Man is an Island - working with poetry and song lyrics

You will read one poem and  listen to two songs:

• Donne: No Man is an Island (poem, p. 14 in Stunt)
• Paul Simon: I am a Rock

• Rogers and Hammerstein: You’ll Never Walk Alone

Answer these questions and post the answers on your blog:

1) What do they say about our relationship With each other?
2) Write a brief comment on your blogs, describing the difference.
3) Which song did you like best and why?
