ENGLISH 7
FRIDAY APRIL 1, 2016

ENGLISH 8
FRIDAY APRIL 1, 2016
HANDED IN SOUNDTRACK
Settled grade disputes. (If you were absent, your grade sheet in your upright, class portfolio.)


We start by checking in at the  Poetry 180 website.
Today--"The Blue Bowl" by Jane Kenyon.
(QW): Listen, then write for a bit. Be inspired by The Blue Bowl. That’s your quick write. You can interpret the poem, that is, say what it means, or merely react to it. How would you feel if you lost your pet? How does the narrator feel? Share it.

 HW: Mon: Extra credit on soundtrack due, no exceptions.

About Me

Sebastopol, CA
After many years as a newspaper reporter and writer, a job that I was lucky enough to love, I got my English teaching credential, hoping to pass on to kids how to find their unique voice and clearly communicate what they think and feel. Public school educated in Philadelphia, college in New York City (Barnard College), transferred to and graduated from UC Berkeley in English and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. Yay, my son, my student in 8th grade, is now a Cal alumni, too, a 2017 graduate with a degree in computer science, now working at Google (You Tube) as a product manager. William Faulkner is one of my favorite writers, as well as Anne Lamott, Langston Hughes and many of the nighttime, satirical comedy shows. On my top bookshelf sit Nobel Prize winning writers Toni Morrison and Orhan Pamuk, along with friends who have won Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, who started writing in junior high or in writing groups in Sonoma County. Go public education in California!
