Friday

Make a Venn Diagram that uses 5 circles like this.

Label each circle with one of Poe's poems.  The Raven, Annabel Lee, The Bells, El Dorado, and A Dream Within a Dream.  Then list 1 item per circle.  Things that stand alone, and things that 2 poems share, and things 3 poems share and 4 poems and 5 poems.  It is a bit complicated so take your time.  This will be due and it is your test, next Friday 4-10.  (I've always had better luck when I color each circle a different color so I can make out the circles and their overlaps better)

7th  You are going to translate the stanzas from Edgar Allen Poe into modern English so that a 3rd grader would be able to understand them....( I will do the first one here for an example) The rest is up to you.  This assignment is due Friday.

The Raven

By Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—

    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—

            Only this and nothing more.”

Coach Fridborg's Translation

One dull midnight, I was thinking, weak and tired
over many interesting books of knights
While I was almost asleep there was a knocking
as like it was someone gently knocking on my room door
I said, "it is just a vistor, knocking at my room door."
On this

The translation doesn't have to be word for word but it does need to be somewhat detailed so I get a general idea of the meaning of each stanza.
