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
