8F Notes: This is homework for the grade 8 class I teach.
a)  20 minutes of reading.
b)  Look for a poem that expresses ideas of individuality and/or free will.  The poem can be a song, but take care that it is substantial enough to work with.  It should have some depth and and some length, otherwise analysis of it will be difficult.  I have more than 2 dozen poetry anthologies in class to look at, and the web may be another fruitful source.  I should be ready to work with when we return from the March Break.  We will share samples tomorrow.
