I told the students to expect a quiz on vocabulary when we start work on the poem next week!
Before we read the poem, I asked the class to look for words they didn't know or that looked like they were being used in ways that were different from what they were used to. As students went through the poem, they not only found individual words but phrases as well. We generated a list and talked about the meanings of the words and phrases.

From Education Week--According to the latest research, the two best predictors of college success are not grades and intellectual ability. Number one is “conscientiousness” (dependability, perseverance, work ethic). Number two is “agreeableness” (interpersonal skills, getting along with other people, working well in groups).
From what I’ve observed, I would say the same is true for life after college—jobs and careers, marriage and family life. Success comes more easily for people who are willing to work hard and who are able to cooperate with other people. |
