Independent Reading: 20 minutes (end of period in library)
Writer's Notebook: This I Believe - What's on your mind right now? Write about anything that you're feeling strongly about right now: politics, yesterday's readings, or anything else that you feel strongly about.

We viewed these two spoken-word pieces. Students discovered the center of gravity for each piece, then chose one to analyze using the DIDLS strategy (diction, imagery, details, language, sentence structure) to reveal tone (posted to Classroom). We will wrap this up tomorrow.

"Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty

"Point B" by Sarah Kay (first 3:40)
