CLASS THREE: FOR MONDAY AFTER VACA: READ "poetry is a tressle" several times (2 or 3 any way) in a brief paragraph, tell me what what you notice and what you wonder (as in I wonder why. . .) Then draw a picture of the stanza.

CLASS FOUR: bring in a copy of your favorite poem (no song lyrics please.)
