Day Sixteen / 6.15.10

Today we turned in our Feminine Essays. Then we discussed poetry. The handout for the discussion is here. We listened to a song by The Cardigans. We discussed Roethke and Miller, then we read Stevens' "Thirteen Ways." We looked at sunflowers. And then we wrote poems about sunflowers (during this time, the song we listened to was by Yann Tiersen). Finally, we read Sharon Olds, "On the Subway."

We also planned our party. Here's the party favor assignments:
