Items Due Today: None.

Due Next Class (see images below post, if needed):
  • Finish annotating "The Marks...", lines 15-18 on paper.
  • Memorization of first quatrain in the Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tzu.
  • On the back of "The Marks..." paper, discuss what YOU THINK the meaning of the quatrain is.  Please refrain from looking up the interpretation from an outside source; I really only care about your interpretation, not "the right" answer.

Today's Bellringer: none today

What we did today: Continued annotating and analyzing "The Marks of the Wise Man, of the Half Wise, and of the Fool", by Rumi.  Took a walking trip to illustrate the "wise...half wise...the fool".  Focus on diction, literary devices, characterization.

Skills: Annotation and literary analysis.

ELA Common Core Standards covered:
  • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
  • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.3: Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.
  • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or informal tone).
  • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.9-10.5: Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.
  • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.9-10.5.a: Interpret figures of speech (e.g., euphemism, oxymoron) in context and analyze their role in the text.
