Lesson Plan for Friday, May 9, 2014

Friday, May 9, 2014
1.  Read today's poem:
          "Fet Walks Melody Home" by Gary Hylund
           Pre-reading: 
                 Note that the italicized lines are dialogue.
                 All of the other lines are merely the two characters' thoughts.
                 The first stanza is from Fet's point of view.
                  The second stanza is from Melody's point of view.
           Background information:
                  The reference to tanks in Budapest is to a Russian occupation in Hungary in the 60's not unlike what is happening now in the Ukraine.
            Application to the "Characterization" writing assignment:
                    People do not always know or understand what other people are thinking.
