We started today out by reading and talking about what the best age in life is. We didn’t really come to a consensus, but it was fun.

We read To The Virgins, To Make Much of Time.

While I “chopped and screwed” this poem, I explained why I found this so offensive and shared some personal stuff from my life. Remember – English is supposed to be about sharing life experiences and thoughts, not an EOC test or a grade. I want you to find connections in the literature to real life!

We also talked about peaking in high school. If you peak in high school, then the rest of your life will be pretty depressing.

After talking about the poem, we did TPCASTT as a group. You can either get me to e-mail those notes to you if you weren’t here or get them from a classmate.

Lastly, we worked on the group PowerPoint in Google drive. You should have received an e-mail with an invitation to edit the slide. Just work on your own slide! Don’t sabotage someone else’s slide. Look for my comments to see what I’d add to it. Remember, if you are stuck taking the final exam, you can use this – as long as you contributed!

When you got done, I gave time to work on your Bucket List. It’s due on Friday.
