Lesson Topic
Unit 8- Poetry -Extended metaphor, symbolism, paradox
Lesson Outline
We reviewed, discussed ,and edited Joshua's essay on "Do Not go Gently into the Night." Critically, I noted the absence of a discussion of symbolism and the need to address the ambiguity or complexity underlying the poem's symbolic description of Death as not just "night' but "good night.". I provided revised sentence structures to enable Joshua to introduce this idea into the first paragraph . We then discussed the poem's imperative tone through the use of "command" verbs . I further addressed Joshua's discussion of rhyme scheme which in this case ,a structured villanelle, is quite predictable . Joshua worked on revisions during class and will finish rewriting the essay for homework .
