Due 11/1

Be prepared to discuss Swift's use of rhetorical devices in A Modest Proposal. There is should be a copy in your book, but I provided the link just in case.

Also, here is a link to the rhetoric packet we discussed today in class. The spacing is a bit crazy, but hopefully you can deal with it.

The Poetry Prospectus Strikes Back! Due 10/21

You will have three additional poetry prospectuses due on Friday, October 21st. Follow the same format for these as for your first set, although all three paragraphs this time must be body paragraphs.

New information: Each of your poems should come from a different literary movement, choosing from among those we have discussed in class.

(And don't worry; there is no "Return of the Poetry Prospectus" so this is your last set!)

Please read and think about the following poems for next time:
