--Then write 1 small paragraph to explain the meaning of the 4 sets of bells. Think symbolism. I'll give you a hint, it's starts happy and ends sad.
Wednesday
Continue to translate poems into modern English. We are almost done with our poetry unit.

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)
