We're AP Lit Nerds and Loving It: February 3, 2014

Focus: What does it mean to lose something, and what it does it mean to reclaim it?

Please turn in your poetry responses.

1. Trying out a little found poetry with some help from Elizabeth Bishop and Billy Collins

2. Using fragments from Beloved to create a poem and to tell a story

3. Perusing our gallery of found poems:

• In Beloved, what is lost?
• What do the characters want to lose?
• What do they wish to reclaim?
• What is found?
• What has the potential to be found?

3. Viewing the Baby Suggs scene: What is being reclaimed, and how?
