A Tale of Two Cities - Day 13

After a short piece of writing about Carton and Darnay, we'll get to some group work.

Today, you'll be making a "found poem" about Sydney Carton. What does that mean?

1. Gather words and phrases, either said by or about him, from chapters 4 and 5 - you need at least 5 from each chapter.
2. Assemble these into a poem about him. It can be said from his perspective or be a description of his character and personality.
1. You can only alter the words you find in the book (make them plural, past tense, things like that) - don't add any new words
2. Find a way to structure your poem - maybe there is a phrase that repeats, like in a song. Maybe there is a rhyming structure. Maybe you use the same word at the start or end of a line.
3. We'll share these out loud.

If there is time remaining, we will start listening to chapter 6, the chapter you are reading for homework tonight. Here are links to the audio files:

• Chapter 6, part 1
• Chapter 6, part 2
• Chapter 6, part 3
• Chapter 6, part 4
• Chapter 6, part 5
