Cancelled Thursday Class
For those who were NOT in class on Tuesday or in case you forgot,
remember that we will NOT be having class tomorrow. Instead, I encourage you to be working on your Poetry Essays and your Adaptation
Projects. Consider going to the writing center for help during this time.
Poetry Essays
The drafts for the Poetry Essays are due Sunday night at 11:55pm. MAKE SURE that you focus on how your selected poem(s) relates to YOU. The thesis/body should NOT be telling the reader what the poem means or how it applies to the rest of the world; this is YOUR relationship with the poem and how it affects or relates to your own life. You can (in fact are encouraged) to include experience from your own life, which mean use of narrative.
Adaptation Projects
Beginning Tuesday, we will be watching the presentations in class. If
you are making a video, either upload it to YouTube for easy access or
bring it on a flash drive. The instructions are relatively simple, but
remember that you must "present" for five minutes, either through the
actual adaptation or an explanation of the process that you went through
to create it. This assignment is an easy A if you follow the minimum
requirements. Forgetting the assignment is a guaranteed zero (not an F,
a zero); so make sure you are a participant!! We will be going in the
order of volunteers then random selection, so make sure you are ready to
go!!!!
