Discuss how sound enhances meaning in Emerson's "The Snow-storm". Discussion can center around both what tone and purpose are AND how sound enhances one or both.
ALSO - make sure you read the introduction to the chapter (first 10 pages) on Rhythm and Meter (chapter 12 in the gold book). This is technical stuff that doesn't make for good notes in class; we'll go straight to attacking it through example.
Best,
