Discussion of the poem “The New Colossus”: We re-watched the video from the previous class. We discussed the entire poem. Students brought information in to add to the discussion. This information could have been regarding the poem itself, the Statue of Liberty, or the Colossus.
The tone of the poem was discussed. Students talked about whether the poem was true at the time it was written, and also if it is true today.

What is the tone of the Neil Diamond song. This song came from the movie "The Jazz Singer." This was a remake of the very first talkie movie ever made, in 1929.
