English 9, Tuesday, April 19

We did a short quiz on the terms we learned yesterday: theme, personification, juxtaposition, repetition, tone
We reviewed the poem, "Cherries".

Next, we reviewed the steps to reading a poem and we did a comprehension test on the next poem in the package, "A Slow Fuse" by Jay Ruzesky.

If you were absent today, read the poem and create a what / so what chart for the following question:

What does the poem suggest about the effects of violence (in families and in society) on children?

Be sure to choose the best symbols you can find to represent these effects.
