JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Dream Within a Dream" theme from the Inception Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer]
Describe a nightmare or a bad dream you had. (If you haven't had one,
think of a fearful daydream.) How did you know it wasn't real?
AGENDA:
*Mindfulness Monday*
1. Journal
2. A word about literature analysis
3. "Dream Within a Dream"
4. Writing/writers' conferences
POSTS:
1. Write a response to the poem. What was your first impression? How did it make you feel? Did anything about it bring your journal topic to mind? (title: FIRST IMPRESSION OF A DREAM)
2. Memorize & recite the poem-- post the video on your blog (title: MY DREAM WITHIN A DREAM)
3. Once you have completed the essay we started last week, take a hack at the prompt below and post a first draft on your blog (title: HAWTHORNE & POE ON DREAMS)
Compare and contrast Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" with Poe's "Dream
Within a Dream." How do the authors use the idea of dreaming to make
us think about what's real? What elements do you see in both pieces,
and how are they different? Use what you know about literary style and
techniques to support your answer.
