Welcome to Semester 2!
You have survived your first semester of high school. Now...on to greatness. :)

This week you will be selecting and analyzing a poem that connects to one of the major themes we are exploring in The Odyssey.

• You MUST select your poem from the Poetry Out Loud website (there are hundreds). 
• You need a printed copy for Thursday.
• Directions for the parts of this assignment will be handed out in class and posted on the blog, as usual. 
• Memorized recitations begin Thursday, Feb. 7. There will be a sign-up process.

Reading will primarily done IN CLASS, so most of your homework this six-weeks will be writing. Be sure to keep track of due dates!

REMEMBER: Every Wednesday I am in the library for conferencing or working with you one-on-one, from 2:30 to 3:30. Take charge of your learning and you will excel!

Electronic submission of this project is due (FINAL copy) on Monday, Jan. 14.
