Due Tuesday, 10/23 or Wednesday 10/24 and other stuff

Optional but a really good idea

On Monday, you will have your first assessed in class essay. Please review your terms "placemat", your notes, and your first essay and feedback to get in the zone for writing this essay. Remember, to really improve, you need to have specific goals that you are trying to work on each time you write. If you don't, then you'll just end up doing the same thing over and over and over...If you'd like to practice writing another 40 minute essay, I've posted a poem and prompt below. I have also (reluctantly) posted sample student essays, but please realize that the highest score may be difficult to understand out of context.

Required

Your actually assignment for Tuesday/Wednesday is to complete the poetry translation activity. If you'd like to print it out and write on this to turn in, you may. Otherwise, you can complete all of the exercises on your own piece of paper.
