Literature
On Tuesday, we turned in our study guides and comparison/contrast T-chart for the poems "Old Man" and "Grandma Ling." Wednesday, we will read the poem ""Those Winter Sundays" and use a study guide to analyze it. We will use resources from this website to hear the poet read his own work and to view a short film inspired by the poem. Writing We are continuing our pronoun review with a packet of exercises.

A Classroom Prayer
Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, enter into my mind and heart. Give me the gift of knowledge and the grace to use it wisely. Help me in all my endeavors. Give me perseverance and fortitude. Help my memory, that I may remember what I learn and recall it when necessary. Guide me in the classroom.
O Jesus, You who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, let me not be deceived by false teaching. Our Lady of Good Studies, pray for me. Amen. Mary, Undoer of Knots,
