Daily journal:  what is the difference in being ignorant and being naïve? Mrs. Riley used a comparison to Othello, asking if Desdemona was ignorant or naïve?

We talked about “perfect” matches for relationships. Mrs. Riley told us she made a list of 100 things she wants in a man.  Knowing it’s not realistic, she just used that to brainstorm about what she likes in a partner.

We read “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love”. It was written by a man named Christopher Marlowe, he was said to be more famous than Shakespeare, but was killed in a bar fight.

In order to get a modern feeling on the poem, Mrs. Riley reminisces on a past student she had that was a “fool” for love. The passionate shepherd in this poem is a “fool” for love. “Romantic with a capital R”

The idea of the poem is that love is all you need. Comparing to a Disney movie, like Cinderella.

We then read a response poem from Sir Walter Raleigh,“The Nymph’s reply to the Shepherd”. This poem was a spoof of the poem by Marlowe.

We then used what we learned after reading these poems, and wrote two Haikus. One about the first poem and one about the second poem.  We have to use technology to make a “poster” for the two poems.

We had 45 minutes to write the two poems and work on our bucket list.
