The Beauty of Nature and its Destructive Elements

Today I was surrounded by women.

Our class this afternoon was quite small (if that can be said about an already small class). With our number nearly halved, we finished up Tintern Abbey with Rachel, and then moved on to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The volume of the Earth's moon is the same as the volume of the Pacific Ocean. We read the first three parts, and discussed the meanings of the albatross, the ghost ship, and the supernatural elements. Following along with the reading check questions at the end helped direct our thoughts a little. We then closed our books, chatted a bit about tomorrow (we'll be going to the library), and scurried out the door to go home!

WHAT TO DO IF YOU MISSED CLASS
- Read Parts I-III of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
- Look over the Reading Check questions (1-6)

WHAT TO DO FOR HOMEWORK
- Read Parts IV and V of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
- Continue to work on your individual teaching pieces
- Think about your participation in class, your completion of homework, and your blogging. Mrs. Loconte will be asking us to give ourselves a mark for each of these topics.
