After completing the Hamlet work you will shift to Joyce's "Araby."
Share your literary 3x3s of James Joyce's "Araby." (Next week we will use these 3x3s to formulate thesis statements and propose structure of essays about Joyce's short story. That's going to be more helpful with me around.)
From there, we are going to try a little experiment connected to our "Poetry as Design" work.
We will transfer our literary 3x3s to index cards, one word per card. Thus, every student will end up with a deck of nine cards. We will start by rearranging our down decks. What other configurations can we make of those nine words? It's okay to mentally adjust tense and such to make it work.
From there, we will continue the experiment by passing decks. See if you can create a 3x3 with another deck.
And from there, things great really crazy. We will take the decks. Combine. Shuffle. Deal nine.
And then . . . design poems. Design a companion poem to Joyce's "Araby" using the nine words (and others) and what you understand about design.
