Today we will look over your practice AP tests and talk about intros and thesis statements.
If we have enough time we'll also discuss the sestina and pantoum form.
Homework:
Research the form of a blues poem and bring one blues poem to class to read out loud and share. You should read Langston Hughes "Weary Blues" or "The Morning After"
Also - if you haven't research a literary device for last week. You need to do that tonight if you want credit.
ps: Robert Johnson - according to legend - sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads. AP students are sometimes tempted to do this in order to pass the poetry section, but don't go to extremes (yet!).
