This week started out with going back to an old activity of Poem of the Week. I was definitely excited to start doing these again, as I felt like I needed more practice on these. I wasn’t the best at them earlier, so now is a good opportunity to get better. There is a difference from other Poem of the Weeks we’ve done, as we were given two poems this week. It was concerning to hear that we were going to ramp up the difficulty after such a long break, but it’s been easier than I thought. Once we got going, I found a lot of the previous information returning to me. It also fun to have two poems, as you can start to see similarities of both. I think I’m in a good position for analyzing poems, as I was able to understand both without too much outside help. I’m a little nervous to write the timed writing, as it’s the first time we’ve written on two poems, but I think I can do it. We also started our Shakespearian Unit this week. So far, this has consisted of writing about our chosen critical theory. I thought this was a little weird at first, as we hadn’t even read the play yet. However, it made more sense as we studied our critical theory in depth. It’s not a surface level idea, but one that you have to really dig into in order to understand. The theory is well explained at this website. By preparing first, we can know what to look for when we actually watch the play. I’m looking forward to actually put the information we gathered to work.
