Day Sixty-Three / 12.14.10

Today we started with a quote: "The first mistake of art is to assume that it's serious." We reflected on: Is comedy art? Should art be lighthearted (or more so)? Can art still be serious?

Then we finished reading Christmas 2009. We discussed the form of the poem. You should know words like rhyme scheme, stanza, sestet, and couplet. Next, we talked about creating our own holiday stories. See the below sheet.

Holiday Project

Finally, we worked in the computer lab on our projects.
