Bringing it all together. I will demonstrate the explication of the poem "My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke. We will talk about how this process of explication looks much like the process of unpacking the mandalas we drew at the beginning of the year. It is slowing down and understanding why/how we had the reaction we did.

It's finally warming up! I'm glad to be back here today with all of you.
We will start the day with a SOC and 10 blissful minutes of reading. I sure hope you are in an awesome book. I just finished A Storm too Soon and would recommend it if you like adventure and survival stories. I am about to begin Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Anne Burns. It is an old book that somehow I missed and after hearing about it again recently, I thought I better read it.
Next we will take a look at the formula for reading a poem-- and then together read "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks. This is to model once again a great way to get the most out of a poem.
Next you will open your poetry journals and work through the box "And Still I Rise"
