Use your book and notes to review the text of the poem from the Prologue through Section 22 (p. 67).  You should probably review 20-22 (pp. 59-67).

TODAY IN CLASS
Students worked in assigned groups to complete questions 5 and 6 from Wednesday's hand-out, and had a chance to discuss and improve responses to 1-4 and 7-14.
Students who had been absent (full credit)or had not completed their individual preparation (reduced credit) had time to work.

Quiz review.

TOMORROW IN CLASS
I'll return today's work.  We will discuss a couple of items.  We will go over (quickly) some highlights of 20-21.   I expect to use 20-25 minutes of class time on this section.
