Find an essay about Hamlet that’s online.  Print it and bring it out with you to class on Friday.

Your writer’s notebook is due on Tuesday, 2/26.

In July 2003, Tracey of sh1ft.org held the first 26 Things photo scavenger hunt, where she invited photographers to interpret words visually. Here were the words from the first list: love, you, food, new, animal, scape, sound, construction, home, time, transport, light, water, color, signage, numbers, authority, symmetry, empty, sunset, weather, communication, little things, footwear, money, monument.

Here’s a link to one person’s take on it.

First Assignment – Choose two words from the list, and shoot it for Friday.

Second Assignment – Shoot these 26 things and upload them to your Photobucket folder by Friday, 3/28: keys, dance, public transport, friend, stop, anxiety, kindness, shoes, words, pattern, not allowed, unfinished business, natural, faith, currency, music, technology, study, copy, art, Friday, emotion, connection, out of place, wheel, sport.

Write a 300-word review of the biography you read for Thursday.  Don’t do this in your writer’s notebook since you’ll be handing it in separately.  Type it or write neatly in pen.

By the end of Thursday’s class we will write 200-300 words on the poem you chose for Poetry Out Loud. Make a connection between the poem and something you’ve experienced, observed, or read.

Bring a copy of your poem with you to class on Tuesday, 2/19. The poem must be memorized for Friday, February 22.
