Speed Dating with Transcendentalist Poetry!

On block day this week, we did a "speed dating" activity with some poetry. To download a copy of today's handout, click here.

Basically, we took turns annotating the poems "A Psalm of Life" and "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls" which are both written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. We annotated using the TPDASTT method.

If these poems confused you and you need some help understanding them, click here to see my annotations of these poems.

Today, you also received a handout to help you gather citations for your Works Cited page for our next piece of writing. Click here to download the handout. Do not throw this handout away until we are done with the essay! Keep it with you these next few weeks.
