1. Quick write (11:45-12:10):

A. If you were only allowed to keep one song on your IPod, which song would it be?  Why is it significant?  How does it make you feel?  If you were only allowed to keep one GENRE of music on your IPod, which genre would it be?  Why? 

B. Write a short song about an important event in your life.  Try to capture the mood and feel free to embellish to make the song more intriguing or to fit a certain pattern.

2. Verbs (12:10-12:30): Using the yellow Magic Lens grammar workbook, you will take Cornell Notes on verb mood (page 42).  You should then complete the Verbs from The Word within the Word activity (page 47); you cannot write in the book, so all answers must be on a separate sheet of paper.  Please remind use the proper heading.  Students who submit papers without a name will receive a zero.  You do not need to submit the work; I will collect and we will talk about it on Friday.

3. Ballads (1:05-1:15):  You will take Cornell Notes on Ballads (Under Literary Focus on page 721 in the textbook).  Remember to complete the summary portion at the end of your notes!

4. “Bonny Barbara Allan” & “Ballad of Landlord” (1:15-1:45):  You will read the two poems and answer questions #1, 2, 6-10 (page 727).  Points will be deducted if you do not have the proper heading or if you write using incomplete sentences.  Hint for #7:  Look for a shift in the poem.  Hint for #10: Rd. the Literary Perspective box on p. 724.

HW:  You should finish whatever you did not complete during class and study your grammar notes.
