Forty-Fifth Class Period: Veterans Day Poem & Analyzing Nonfiction Prose

Quiz: Alex Chadwick's "Earhart Redux" (transcript of a radio interview) and Steve Gietschier's "In These Girls, Hope Is a Muse" (book review) and the book jacket copy for Madeleine Blais's In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle (711-718).

Students viewed an excerpt from Colin Halloran's lecture at UConn Avery Point in which he reads his poem "Morning Commute" (Facebook).

Students created a color-coded key for their analysis of Steve Gietschier's book review "In These Girls, Hope Is a Muse" and discussed the construction of the review with Mr. Stone.

Mr. Stone distributed a list of nonfiction terms previously provided in a different format for students to use to study for the upcoming nonfiction test.

Homework: Study for the nonfiction test which will be taken the last class period before Thanksgiving break.
