March 12

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "An Affair to Remember" by Harry Warren; "Remember Stevie" by Buddy Guy]

It doesn't happen very often, but once in a while you get an assignment in which there is no margin for error.  Memorizing Shakespeare is one of those assignments (see below).  Given what you've learned about poetry structure and your own thinking habits, plan your attack: how will you go about memorizing this so that you can say it out loud word-for-word next Monday? Include a timeline.

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Work on memorizing Harry's speech
3. Read/begin Literature Analysis #2
4. Writers'/bloggers' conferences

HW:
1. Memorization
2. Literature Analysis (plan to finish book and present active reading notes Friday 3.23)
