4-4/4-5 2007 First short story from your region

Lesson:
Remember that if you are absent you need to show me what you did to get credit for class participation for the day you missed.

We checked off that we made progress in each group. Typed history information was due today.
Went over goals for the museum again.
Check out the movie extra credit options on the assignments page.
We went over a sonnet in class. If you were absent, analyze this Shakespearean sonnet on your reading log:

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadetn in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death ‘s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seeest the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consum’d with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceiv’st which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long:

Remember to look at form, sound, and meaning.
We worked in groups assembling the history displays and reading our first stories. Here is the list of the story you need to read. When through you need to complete an analysis sheet. I will give your group members extra copies of the stories to give to absent members.
