I want to say how incredibly pleased I was with everyone's responses on yesterday's scholar start. Quality, Creative answers!

Due some last minute shuffling around, today will be free write THURSDAY. My apologies.Can't think of anything to write about? Imagine that scientists discovered strawberries are actually the second smartest thing on the planet. How would this change your life? How would this change the lives of humans?

Today we will be reading a poem by Rupert Brooke, a British Poet. Like "Flanders Fields," this poem was written early on in the war.

V. The Soldier

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
