In Class:

Journal-- Use descriptive imagery to describe this setting and reflect on its meaning; infer the four senses other than sight.

As a class, we read “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” by W.B. Yeats and discuss the use of imagery, especially language that inherently creates imagery, e.g., “lake water lapping.” 

 Independently, students worked on the following asssignments:
* Read “The Third Planet: Operating Instructions” by David Brower. 
* Write either a one-paragraph summary and response or a creative response inspired by "The Third Planet."
* Choose two of the prompts on the handout “Natural World Creative Writing Prompts” and complete two writing pieces.
* Review and complete missing assignments.


Exit Ticket: Name one thing you are proud of.

Homework:
