Due Tuesday 11/1

The Mysterious Homework explanation is available here.

The "Century Quilt" poem just needs to be brought to class on Monday, and we will work with it then.

Remember to study for your poetry test on Thursday, 11/3! The review slides are available in a previous post.

Reminders

Your peer review essay is due Wednesday by 10:30. If you missed the deadline for the original paper, bring in a hard copy and we'll do a hard copy exchange with other people who are in the same position.

The powerpoint for poetry terms is available here. It is a working document, so you may want to check back in occasionally to see if we've added more.

Time Period Assignment due Tuesday

Sorry to those of you who wanted to start your homework on Thursday night. I needed to finish this up this morning, and sadly, there are probably still typos.

Please view and learn about time periods from the slide show available below. When you are done, please test your knowledge of the time periods by completing the practice assignment which has you try to identify poems by time period. It will not matter if your guessing is "wrong", so please just try your best using your brain and not google.

If done well, this will take a while, so please plan accordingly with your time.

Essay feedback assignment

A reminder that your essay feedback is due on Wednesday. To my knowledge, you have already been distributed the essay that you will provide feedback on. If you missed the Wednesday evening deadline, we'll have to think of another option for you.

At home in-class essay

You will be writing a 40 minute essay on the poem available here. Please type your essay instead of writing by hand and when finished, upload it to the AP English "Pen-Pals" class. This is the class that you have done your forum posts through. The assignment is already posted in Pen-Pals under the name of the poem.

This assignment needs to be posted by 10:30 on Wednesday, October 19th.

If you are concerned about anonymity, you can try leaving your name off your paper, but I haven't been able to confirm that the reader can't see your user name like they can with posts.

Poetry Research Assignment

This will be due Monday night at 11:59 pm. Hopefully. I'm including the assignment description in both Google Doc and PDF Form.


Important note! When the assignment explanation says "write an interpretation" it means to write a thesis statement which present your complex interpretation. That means 1-2 sentences. I am not asking you to write a full paragraph on each poem. (I can change this language on the GoogleDoc, but can't change it on the PDF version.)


Your research poem is by alpha according to the lists below:

Period 2

Ada-Dam: Poem 1
Dav-Gre: Poem 2
Har-Lee: Poem 3
Lor-New: Poem 4
Ogr-Sho: Poem 5
Tho-Zhu: Poem 6

Period 3:

Arm-Dul: Poem 1
Fie-Jin: Poem 2
Jos-Lig: Poem 3
Mar-Red: Poem 4
Rob-Sha: Poem 5
Sin-Woo: Poem 6

Due Tuesday, 10/4

Please read on Symbolism and Allegory (457-464). You may also find it helpful to read what your book has to say about rhythm and meter on (480-492). We will do more work with rhythm and meter later this week.

A reminder that your essay is due on Thursday, and your prospectuses are due on 10/10.
