Friday 19th October

Welcome back to term 4. Please remember that the blogging tasks will be a part of your semester 2 grade, so make sure that you put effort into both your posts and the comments that you make on other people's blogs.

This week we have looked at some poetry and we will continue with that work next week. Today I would like you to focus your blog post on the quotation at the top of page 6 of your handouts. This is a quote from the movie Dead Poet's society.

1) What do you think this quotation means and what makes you think that?

2) Do you agree (totally, partly, just a little, not at all) with the statement that is made? What reasoning do you have for your answer?

You collected for homework, two examples of poetry from your everyday life.

1) What are these examples?

2) What is the purpose of them being written as poetry and not as prose?
