 Today we finished the story of A rose for Emily on ComminLit along with some discussion questions. We read the story as a class and discussed some key points. The story took a turn in the end for what I thought it was going to be about. The story was a very twisted read but also interesting. At the end of class we watched a short film on the story that brought it all together.

 Ap exam testing.

 Today in class we read the first part of the story called A rose for Emily. The story started off with a depressing tone of her funeral. We read the poem as a class by spinning the wheel to popcorn read. The story seems interesting so far and I would like to see the author reveal more about the main character. I then started my discussion questions that I will have to submit after I finish them.

 In class we read a poem called The Great Figure. We read the poem as a class then had to draw a picture of the images we saw in the poem while reading. I drew a picture of a red fire truck with sirens, beaming lights, the number five on it, and big wheels. I then answered questions about the poem as well. The poem had lots of imagery and created a mysterious atmosphere.

 In class we completed visual poems. First we had to find an image to base our poems off so I chose a Hawaii beach picture off google. I chose this picture because I love going to the beach and watching the waves hit the shore. My poem was about beach waves and the important elements that make it up. I highlighted elements that are not usually talked about as much that I think should be. I think my poem came out pretty good in the end.

 Today we did an individual assignment on careers and college. Our career research project was based off our prior assignments on picking a career and college to attend based on eachother. The project was pretty easy since it was basically copying and pasting work to the slides from our prior assignments. We also had to insert images corresponding to the information. This is a great slideshow to see all the information come together.
