October 23
We turned in Point 2 of the research paper. In addition, today was the due date for the drama paper. In class students highlighted the glossary terms they used in their paper.
The instructor handed out the poetry assignment sheet and we decided on dates we would deliver the presentations:
November 13 & 18:
Last name ending A-K
November 20:
Last name ending L-Z
Other dates and assignments:
From now through October 30, be reading various poets in your genre. Check the literary databases online at the UCC library.
October 28: instructor will show how to explicate a poem. There is a printed out handout for this class but if you wish to see it in advance, see the links at left, "explication."
October 30: explicaton of Dylan Thomas "Do Not Go Gentle." There will be a one-two page paper for this poem. At the next class, the instructor will ask you to name your poet and show three of his/her poems you have examined.
November 4: instructor will show how to convert written paper to key word outline form.
Be prepared to show three printed out poems from your poet.
November 6: practice date for presentations. All students must have key word outline on an index card.

October 21 class:
The instructor returned the drama exams for students to put in the test/quiz section of their notebooks. She also returned Point 1 of the research paper. Students who have not yet turned in Point 1 and turn it in with Point 2 on Thursday.
We went over scores for midterm grades and each student now has an approximation of what the grade is to date.
Next we discussed the poetry assignment. The assignment sheet was put on the overhead document cam and we read through it. It will be posted later at this blog. Then we went to poets.org and examined various poetry genres. Each student chose a genre, which is listed on a table.
Please note that on the table, there are a few "?." We will go over this at the next class and fill in the blanks.
For next class: Drama paper and Point 2 of research paper is due.
