Tuesday, September 17th

1. Joy Harjo: A Life in Poetry (continued)

2. Annotations of "Grace" due at the beginning of the hour.  Group work:
  • As a group, select 3 adjectives (describing words) that would accurately capture the attitude/tone of "Grace." 
  • After you have determined your 3 adjectives, select 2 specific lines to support each adjective. 
  • Select 3 specific diction choices by Joy Harjo (pick 3 words) that your group feels has deeper meaning (CONNOTATION) or purpose.  What is the meaning of each word? How does it contribute to the poem's meaning? 
  • How does the poem reflect culture? Start with components of our working definition of culture and tie directly to "Grace" 
  • What 4 literary devices beyond diction, theme, tone can you identify in the poem and what EFFECT does the device have on the poem.
