On Monday, you will be completing your first assessed in-class poetry essay. Make sure you have reviewed your returned essays and comments and know what you will want to focus on as areas for improvement.
For Tuesday, please do a line-by-line (or thought for though) "translation" of the poem "Essay on Man" by Alexander Pope on page 609 in your text book. This assignment will be turned in for points, so make sure it is on a separate sheet of paper and not just in your notes. You will most likely need to look up definitions for words you don't know and allusions that you are not familiar with. At the bottom of your paper, please include a list of words and their definitions that you looked up.
