After more fun with vocabulary words, we returned back to that statue-like siren Helen and her impact on Greeks, which was emphasized by a collective speaker in H.D.'s poem. Looking at the differentiation of speaker person, diction, stanzas, motifs, rhyming patterns, and tone, we created thesis statements to answer the prompt and selected evidence from both poems to support the main idea. As noted, the thesis statement is significant to the organization of the essay, and its phrasing is significant to the level of maturity that an AP audience would expect.
Monday will be our diagnostic prompt day, a chance for you to close read "The Birthmark" and prepare for some type of literary analysis prompt. As mentioned in class, this is a bell to bell prompt, so you will not need me to tell you to begin.
