Jumping off of a line

For this weeks blog, you will watch the performance of the poem and then choose a line that resonates with you.  You will write your thoughts, a poem, or a journal entry based off of the line you choose.

We did something like this in class before.  Your response should be about one to two paragraphs.

Quotable

Happy Monday!

For this week’s blog, pull a quote from your choice book that you think is important. Analyze it and break it down explaining why it is important.

Your post should be one to two paragraphs.  Really pick your quote apart and explain how it speaks to the theme your see emerging in your novel.

What is valued?

Throughout Kettle Bottom, family is valued.  Through the different voices and the content of the pieces, family and the importance of family are commented on through the relationships of the spouses, parent and child, siblings, and friendships.

Think about what else is valued in this collection. Using three poems from the beginning, middle, and end of the collection, what is something else that is valued?  Explain how you arrived at your conclusion using the poems as your evidence.

Your response should be about one to two paragraphs with textual evidence to support your thinking.

Setting

In using one of the poems from Kettle Bottom, analyze what the poem reveals about the setting of the collection.

Look at the language, the voice of the characters, and the imagery used to create meaning.

Write an analysis of the setting from your poems using textual evidence to support your thinking. 

Your post should be two paragraphs in length.
