  1. ENGLISH IIFEBRUARY 1ST AND 4TH As you come in, I’ll stamp “Sonnet 30” (front and back). After you have a stamp, turn to “Do Not Weep Maiden, War is Kind.”

  2. REMINDERS • Homework: • Tonight: Finish annotations for “Do Not Weep Maiden, War is Kind.” • Tomorrow: Complete backside for “Do Not Weep Maiden, War is Kind.” • Poetry packet will be due on Friday. • If you didn’t get a stamp for anything we’ve done, your homework for the next few days is to finish those poems (either annotations or worksheet). Even without a stamp, finishing your work will get you more points than not finishing your work. • Bring To Kill a Mockingbird starting Friday.

  3. STANDARDS Literary Criticism 3.11 Evaluate the aesthetic qualities of style, including the impact of diction and figurative language on tone, mood, and theme, using the terminology of literary criticism. (Aesthetic approach)

  4. TITLE ANALYSIS Question: If someone from the war walked up to a soldier, a soldier’s wife, a soldier’s mother or a soldier’s child and said, “war is kind!”… what would your response be??? What it is called when someone says something that they don’t mean? Sarcasm is also known as “verbal irony” (words that are the least expected)

  5. TITLE ANALYSIS Question: What is the definition of repetition (from our notes yesterday)? Why might someone repeat something that they already said?

  6. PRACTICE • Let’s read “Do Not Weep, Maiden, War is Kind” twice. • The first time we read, let it sink in. The second time, start looking for verbal irony, repetition, imagery (good or bad imagery), speaker’s tone, your mood, and powerful diction (words). • After we read twice, I’ll give you 8 minutes to annotate the poem on your own. Then, I’ll place you in groups to help each other annotate.

  7. PRACTICE • We’ll count off by 5’s. • Once in your group, work together to come up with several annotations for your stanza. Whatever your group decides to write down, you should write down on your own page. • You’ll be presenting tomorrow AND others will be writing down your annotations. • Look for the following: • verbal irony • repetition • imagery (are they beautiful images, horrible images, funny images, sorrowful images, etc.?) • speaker’s tone • your mood • diction

  8. PRESENTATIONS Now, each group will present their group’s annotations. Your group will use the ELMO projector to read and explain the annotations that you wrote down (choose one group member’s poem to put under the ELMO). As you explain, the class will be writing down your annotations (so make sure to explain them very clearly).

  9. DISCUSSION • Why was Crane sarcastically saying that “war is kind” and presenting horrific images from war? • What is Crane’s main point, or THEME?

  10. HOMEWORK • Complete the worksheet for “Do Not Weep, Maiden, War is Kind.”
