Writing 102 Saturday What Happened in Class

The instructor returned Pt. 1 and took students' Pt. 2s.

We discussed poetry and today Humberto presented paper featuring Poe's work with cinque.
First Humberto removed the cruxes from the poem. Then we read the papers and discussed the meaning of the poem.

Two other students, Kenia and Jennifer, were ready to present their papers but we ran out of time.
We will discuss these poems next week.

At the end of the class, we worked on finding the correct form of citation for the literary criticism. We used the green pamphlet and used p. 11, 3rd one down as the model. The instructor helped students write the citation so they could add it to their poetry papers for next week.

Next week:

Poetry presentations
Turn in Pt. 3
Instructor returns Pt. 2
Read the other half of the "How to Read a Poem" (link at left)
Work on Langan. By midterm, half the book must be completed.
