Block days this week were spent going over the modernist movement and tackling some poetry. After reviewing the power point from Monday and Tuesday and discussing characteristics of both the pre-modern era and of modernism, we compared some Romantic period poetry with some modernist poetry, specifically the famous Wallace Stevens poem "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird." Review the power point by clicking below. For an assignment, you got with a partner and read the Wallace Stevens poem, answered a few analysis questions, and turned them in with your homework, which was the Aspects of Modernism chart. Afterwards, we spent the remainder of the period discussing the poem as a class. Friday, February 13, 2009
