Bell Ringer: Journal Sharing
Share a LOT 3 journal entry with me on your independent reading story, "Ward No. 6."

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.
