Creation and Creators

Today's class was led by Brody. We studied Apostrophe to the Ocean by Lord Byron. After learning about Byron's life, we read the poem itself, and then listened to a recording of the poem as we jotted down our understanding of the poem and thoughts we had. Your body has enough iron in it to make a nail 3 inches long. Brody then led a discussion on the poem, stanza by stanza, in which we were able to give our thoughts and feedback. It wasn't quite as long as Tintern Abbey, but it took us right to the end of class. Brody will be finishing up with a few concluding questions on Thursday, so be prepared!

FOR HOMEWORK:
- Continue working on your poem analysis and preparations for teaching
- Reflect on Apostrophe to the Ocean and come ready to answer difficult and super challenging in- depth post-analysis inquiries
- Joon, be ready to teach the class about Shelley!
