Suicide's Note: Due Wednesday, September 4

English IV, you've heard me say how shorter poems can be harder to interpret.  For this week's blog post, I want you to test this theory.  Read the following poem and complete steps 2-5.  Your post should include the answers to the steps; be sure to label each answer (e.g. Step 2: the).  Don't forget to tell why!  No text language, bad grammar ,or copying others' posts, please.  Have fun ;-)

Suicide's Note

The calm,
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss.

2014!!!!! Woohoo!!! Your year has finally arrived!  I am so excited about this school year.  I have very high expectations for each of you, and I know that with a positive attitude and endurance, you ALL will be successful.  I know you are counting down the days til graduation, but I need you to remember that it is not over yet.  You still have courses to complete before you can be an official part of that glorious day.  It is too early for Senioritis  to kick-in.  Trust me, if you come to school already experiencing Senioritis, your time in Senior English will not be fun.  I want us to have a great educational year, so come ready!  I am :-)
