Read your poetry!

The end of the hour seemed to happen abruptly--let me clarify your homework. Complete the "10 Steps to 'Getting It,'" from the cream-colored "Reading Poetry" packet as you read "An Ancient Gesture," by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Annotate (write on it like we did in class!) the poem as you identify figurative language and other poetic elements. After going through the 10 steps, write out the poem's theme statement below the poem.

**Don't forget the extra credit option: complete the vocabulary work as described on the pink handout; if you don't care for extra points, at least begin to review the terms.
