Poetry, it's been fun, but...

Your last poetry responsibilities (for now!)

Please upload your pre-1900 poem outline to Turnitin by Friday, 11/2 at 4:00 pm.

Your final in class poetry essay is Monday, 11/5.

The Beast (your poetry terms test) is on Tues/Wed (11/6 or 11/7). This will take about one half of the period, and we'll use the other half to move on to not poetry stuff.

Due Tuesday 10/22 or Wednesday 10/23

Please read and complete the exercises for the Poetry Translation/Paraphrasing activity. You may either complete the exercises on a printed version of the document, or write or type your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

After B day writes their essays, here are sample essays from the AP people on the poem that you wrote on.

Due Friday

Please remember that your second poetry outline is due to Turnitin. To simplify the turn in process, let's have them all due by Friday at 4:00 pm. That way, both A and B day people can get a little extra time for the assignment, but you will be done in time for those of you going to Homecoming. (It's really a challenge for due dates having your classes on different days!)

Due Monday 10/15 and Thurs/Fri 10/18/19

Due Monday:

Please watch the slide show on poetry time periods and complete the corresponding assignment.

Below you will find the links to the poetry time period slide show and the poetry practice assignment. Please type your responses in a new document that you will upload to Turnitin. For your 3 analytical units, please put extra attention into your "how" stage. This is an area that we will be targeting for growth.

Please read the section on rhythm and meter in your book (pages 480-492).

Due Monday, October 1st and Beyond!

You will have a poetry outline assignment due Monday, October 1st, which is explained here. This will be turned in online, and Turnitin information is available on the last slide. Remember, you are choosing a poem of your own selection from the "Collection of Poems" section of your book to use for this assignment.

The slide show for your take home poetry essay is available here. Your take home essay will be submitted to Turnitin no later than Sunday, October 7th, at 10:00 pm.

The poem that you are all writing your first poetry essay on is available here. Please write your essay on this poem. I will not accept essays written on a different poem for this assignment. This poem is also available in your red book on page 533. ("The Starry Night", by Robert Fagles.)
