December 5, 2013: What's Happening in A.P. Literature?

Focus: What help do you need from me?

1. Warm-up: Finishing up yesterday's MC discussion

2. Working on projects and papers

PROJECT PEOPLE: Please print a hard copy of your poem for me today.  I will make a packet of all of your poems for the class.  Include your name and the poet's name on your printout.

Also, remember that your project does need to include a polished, dramatic reading of your poem.

PAPER PEOPLE: Please include an MLA heading on your paper and page numbers. Staple your poem to the back of your essay. 

There should be a thesis somewhere in your essay, but it doesn't need to be at the end of the first paragraph.

In the explication/analysis portion of your essay, please organize your paragraphs by argument; then, use poetic devices (allusion, metaphor, imagery, alliteration, repetition, slant rhyme, etc.) to support your arguments.

HW:
1. Prepare for tomorrow's fishbowl discussion of Invisible Man, Chapters 17 and 18.

2. Continue working on your project or paper (due Monday).
