1. IRB

2. Good Word Quiz on Wednesday – keep in mind this is a half day at school!

3. Look over the Poor Ophelia poem we pre-viewed in class. Notice that I stapled a checklist of what I want you to annotate.

We will spend our Core All on Monday going over this poem. Make sure jot down plenty of questions and observations about the poem as you annotate it – we will be discussing it stanza-by-stanza.

Other questions to consider that were not added to the check list:
1. How does the writer SHOW not TELL what is happening in the poem?
2. Is the mood clear? How does the writer do this?
3. Why is this poem so compelling? What makes it engaging to you?
4. Explain how you understand Ophelia better after reading this piece.
5. Make a connection between the poem & the play (cite the page so we can all turn to it in class!).
