Work on memorizing poem for next Thur/Fri. You will write it from memory.
How to memorize: 
  • visualize each image
  • recite with feeling, paying attention to the rhythm and meter
  • act it out with hand gestures
  • think through concepts and the development of ideas
  • practice, using different voices and intonation
  • read it very slowly. Bit by bit. 
  • write it over and over again --Oliver Goodness
  • if you're a really big nerd (like Sami) you use crazy voices
Watch The Scarlet Letter
The director of a film makes numerous artistic decisions. Your job is to ask if those decisions are true to the text. For example: Does the mood of the music fit; was it a good idea to change the color of a character's eyes; is the actor capturing the right emotion, or should the character be more . . .
