Today Mrs. Wilke discussed imagery some more.  Students read Maya Angelou's "Caged Bird." Individually, as a large group, and in small groups, students identified imagery and discussed the symbols found in the poem.  The assignment for tomorrow is to write a paragraph comparing "Caged Bird" by Maya Angelou to "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Dunbar, being sure to use text evidence to support the claims students establish in the topic sentence of their paragraph.  Both poems are shown in the images below.
