Friday Office Hours
I am having extra office hours tomorrow (Friday) from 9 to 2pm for anyone who want to go over drafts or have me look at your annotated bibliographies.
Homework
The reactions for Monday/Tuesday are a little different for your LAST homework assignment of the semester. Read T. S. Eliot's "Love Song for J. Alfred Prufrock" in the poetry readings for class discussion, and do a line-by-line assessment of all of the elements of poetry that you can find. This is simply an identification exercise, which we will discuss in class. The purpose of the assignment is twofold: 1) it will help prepare you for doing the same with your poem of choice for your reader-response Poetry Essays, and 2) it will prepare you for the Poetry Quiz (I can guarantee you will do well on the quiz if you correctly identify all of the "parts."
Adaptation Projects
Don't forget to think about what you will be doing for your adaptation project the last week of classes. As I suggested in class, you can kill two birds with one stone if you use the same poem for your Poetry Essay for your adaptation. As I have stated earlier in the year, this project is meant to be fun and you should be able to earn an easy A, but you MUST follow the basic criteria in the
Adaptation Projects folder in the Assignment section of Lessons. You should be posting a proposal to the
Instructions & Proposals for Your Adaptation Projects to make sure that you are on the right track. We will discuss these further in class next week, but READ the instructions!
