Last week, we finished reading "There Will Come Soft Rains" and "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury. We also finished viewing and discussing the Ray Bradbury biographical video. we were able to review the first fifteen poetry terms and looked at some examples. All these assignments were accomplished in both academic and CP classes, but the CP students did not get to reading "The Possibility of Evil" by Shirley Jackson; they will read it this week.
This week, we will concentrate on poetry and discuss how writing poetry can be a jumping board towards writing effectively using sound diction. We will have WITS lessons on Wednesday and Thursday.
