April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers.
The above is an excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" published in 1922.
Per Mr. Mergler: time is running out to register for the SAT
Due Monday, April 7---"Prufock" vocabulary 2 test
Anyone who did not turn in the graphic organizer that was to be completed in class yesterday has a ZERO at this point. You will need this material to write your essay this week. Perhaps you should submit your missing work?
Also, some folks need to make up last Friday's vocabulary test.
In class today: we are looking again at "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufock", however, our lens today is using Cornell notes in preparation for writing an analysis essay in the library on Thursday and Friday. I will have detailed information on that tomorrow. Take out your "Prufrock" poems.
As a class, we'll reread some of the poem, picking out the salient literary and figurative language points.
What are Cornell notes? The Cornell method provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes
.
The student divides the paper into two columns: the note-taking column (usually on the right) is twice the size of the questions/key word column (on the left).
Notes from a lecture or teaching are written in the note-taking column; notes usually consist of the main ideas of the text or lecture, and long ideas are paraphrased. Long sentences are avoided; symbols or abbreviations are used instead.
To assist with future reviews, relevant questions or key words are written in the key word column.
At the bottom of the page, write a brief summary of the material.
Here is a copy of your Cornell Notes template. There are 4 pages.
