SYNTHESIS OF THE WHOLE BY CORRELATING THE LESSON WITH ART

1. Make a sketch of the scene in the first stanza, showing the rocky, high, forest-covered banks, with mist rising along the slopes, and the man in a canoe on a small stream below.

2. Make a sketch of the scene described in the second stanza, showing the winding river, with its high banks appearing to meet in the distance, the man in his canoe in the foreground, and over all the dim light of early morning.

3. Make a sketch of the ducks rising from the water. Show the reeds at the mouth of the creek and the rocky spur toward which the birds are heading.
