Friday+April+20+2nd+Period

Socratic Seminar!
Use your prep notes, your text, and your journal in the discussion! Inner/Outer Circles for 7 minutes each! We are looking at sections I-VII.

‍‍‍‍‍‍ Active Reading
Finish reading and annotating "The Twelve" As you read, look for Blok's "so what." Make specific notes on this at the end of the poem. Can you **state the "so what" in one sentence? (I will look for this as part of your annotating grade!)**

Remember: By "so what," I mean his POINT, his SPECIFIC PURPOSE. What is he trying to say here?

Keep this in mind as you read.....
Question: How does the Bolshevik Revolution help us understand Blok's poem "The Twelve?" After reading the poem, we will go to the computer lab to develop a short (6 slide) PowerPoint presentation addressing this question.
