Work on Essay 2


Discussion Assignments 

Reminder: Final Draft of Essay 2 is due on Monday of Week 10, at 10 PM.


Reading Quiz:

Take the Blackboard quiz on elements of drama.  The quiz is worth 20 points, is open book, and you may only take it once.  You have only 10 minutes, so be familiar with the Elements of Drama you have read about in Chapter 37 of Meyer. 

The quiz will be posted through the end of week 10 (available 14 days).  One try, no resets.  Make sure you have a reliable connection before you launch the quiz.


Reading  Ahead

Read Meyer, Chapters 19 and 20. These chapters will help you to get a "feel" for poetry, and offer good suggestions and samples of analysis.

Then read:

pg. 574 The Fish

pg. 745 My Papa's Waltz

pg. 624 To His Coy Mistress

Don't read any of the surrounding analysis of these poems if you find it in the text.  Focus only on the poems.
