First of all,
THANK YOU TO THE 14 PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SHOWED UP TO CLASS ON THURSDAY!
I may have been a little hard on your essays, but I think you'll do better because of it.
HElpful hints about writing an essay:
1, Be sure to read your work out loud. Or read it out loud and to someone else. You'll HEAR a lot of the repetition in the lines and also the extra words that need to be cut out.
2, If you haven't yet. please feel free to send me your essay for a quick once over and hopefully I can GET back to you quickly.
3, Use enough quotes to support your thesis, at least 3 and as many as 9! Make sure the quotes match the claim you are trying to make.
Good luck!
COME TO CLASS ON TUESDAY AND BRING YOUR FINAL AND BEST PAPER!
POETRY BEGINS on Tuesday, like it or not, and I think you'll like it.
**It will be the same format in many ways, in that I'll assign poems and you'll READ them closely and journal about them and then we'll talk and do group work. But at the beginning of each class we'll have 4 to five presentations.
* IF YOU still have not talked to me or emailed me about your poem or poet, I'll have to assign you a poem. If you don't want that, come and talk to me!
*If WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO be in the first group to PRESENT YOUR POET AND POEM I'd really appreciate it. Please email me or talk to me after class on Tuesday.
Can't wait to read your final papers!
