For Thursday, April 24

Using the poetry packet I gave you on Earth Day, find the Wordsworth poem "The World is Too Much With Us."  You will annotate this poem as if you are going to write an essay for the AP exam.  Make sure that as you mark literary devices in the text-you write in the margin your interpretation of the ld's meaning to the poem as a whole.  Finally, write a dynamic thesis sentence that will propel a well-written essay over this poem.  Your thesis should be interpretive.  What is Wordsworth's argument~his purpose for changing the mind or actions of his readers?

Finally, read through Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty."  Be prepared for a discussion of this poem.

We will pick up with Antigone on Thursday~hopefully we will finish the play.
