10 AM Class: Thursday In-Class Exercise

Now that you've started the building blocks, and talked them over with a group, consider where you are right now.  Then, respond to the following questions.

1.  What is your topic?
2.  How far along, on a scale of 1-10, are you with your rough draft?
3.  What do you need to do to reach a "10" on that scale?  Create a plan for action.

Post your "Now You Try" responses here.

Thanks!

Tuesday In-Class Exercise

To continue our early discussion of literary analysis, please go to this page: http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/200

Pick a "subject" area that interests you, and then pick a poem that you find interesting on the following page.  I suggest choosing one of the more recent pieces, but whatever interests you works for me.

Read the poem carefully.  Consider all of its elements: the imagery, the word choices, the ideas presented, the line breaks, the rhyme scheme (or lack thereof), the title, etc.  How does the poem explore the "theme" you see?

Write your response in a paragraph in the comments here, making sure to include your name and class time.  This is due by 5 pm today.

Citing sources

As you know, you have to use (at least) two sources in this paper.  In doing so, you need to cite those sources when using information from them.  Please see this link for thorough information on citing sources:

Pay particular attention to "Using Research," and then once you've selected the appropriate type of format (MLA, APA, or Chicago), be sure to carefully follow those guidelines.
