Even though "Thou Blind Man's Mark" poem is not the literal adventures of a blind man, the metaphor of how desire can blind one to the moral rectitude that one should possess comes through, which in my suddenly coffee-addled state has made the jump to our play, King Lear, and the ever-so-present reminders of sight, seeing, glasses, and other pertinent word forms dealing with the metaphorical idea of blindness and sight. I love when our texts work out that way!
Don't forget to turn in your hard copy of the close reads for the AP classroom assignment! I know there have been some quirky technical issues on the website, but that should not impede your from finalizing your writings.
At this point in the grand scheme of the world, or at least the AP Lit world, second hour has almost completed the first act in its full analysis (if absent today, be prepared to chat regarding pages 67 & 69), portfolioed (yep, made a verb up) "Thou Blind Man's Mark," and is prepping Act II for Monday's class. Once you have everything over-analyzing in that first scene, the rest of the play and its characters fall into place.
Sixth hour has completed the Edmund "B" speech in its entirety, the rangefinders for "Thou Blind Man's Mark," and put a dent into the remaining portions of Act I. If absent, prepare to cover the analysis of pages 55 & 57. Act II will be starting up on Monday.
