Today's Meet & Snow Days Update!

​To those who could make it tonight: 

THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING in the first ever unofficial Hilliard's Class AP Lit chat on Today's Meet. It was a fast-paced discussion with plenty of lovely and insightful commentary being shared. We focused on the poem "Expecting" by Kevin Young on page 1048 of your Nortons. 

HERE is a copy of a cleaned-up transcript of the chat. 

If you weren't unable to make it HERE IS A LINK to a Today's Meet room that will be open until tomorrow evening so you can still share your ideas about the poem. 

​Here are the questions from the chat: 

Q1: How might you describe the first two stanzas of the poem? What does it set us up to think and feel? What language is important?
 
Q2: The next few stanzas follow suit until the major shift occurs in lines 20-21. How does the poet create the shift? Take us from one feeling to another?
 
Q3: How does this poem characterize the expectations and emotions of its speaker, an “expecting” father and a mother-to-be?
 
Q4: If you were tasked with renaming the poem, what would you title it?

Additionally, ALL HOMEWORK including your Poetry Response Journal 1 is still due. I will accept your PRJ through email or the day we return. 

Otherwise, enjoy your SNOW DAY tomorrow!!
