Students took the second quiz over Frederick Douglass's Narrative, covering Chapters VI, VII, and VIII (30 pts.), and we graded it in class.

We returned to our study of poetry. Students pulled out "Casey at the Bat," and we watched a film of it being recited by the man who made it famous, DeWolf Hopper. Then, using the yellow sheet on Poetic Terminology, we reviewed the major types of metrical lines in English poetry and tested our understanding by beginning to scan our own names.
