Lyrical Roses & Beaches

After vocab today, we spent our hour on lyrical poetry, commencing with the packet's sample and related questions and transitioning into team close reads on "Dover Beach." (Fourth hour, you still have the last stanza to do!). In both circumstances, we are merging structure (rhyme scheme, meter, stanza) with content. For instance, looking at why Burns changes his rhyme pattern between quatrains 2 and 3 and what this suggests about poem's content and theme.

For tonight, read and answer questions relating to elegy and dramatic monologue.

And, if you want to look at free journals (at least through Sunday), here is a link for you: http://liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/collections/journals.
