March 12
We checked in the poetry criticism (two articles) that was due today. The research paper pages were also checked in. Papers will be returned with feedback at the next class.
We talked about the poetry outline and the instructor refined it. The part we did in class is in red.
Next the instructor discussed how poets achieve emotional impact with their words through the use of connotative words. The presentation also covered meter and rhyme, as well as simile, metaphor, extended metaphor, etc.
We set up a table and students committed to a roundtable date.
To Do for Next Class:
Two more pages of writing to complete Pt. 3 for the research paper. By the next class (Mar. 26), the body of the paper will be completed.
In addition, write two pages of the poetry assignment. This paper is based on the outline that was discussed
in class today and that is posted at right under "Writing 102 Outline Lester Poetry." In addition, consult the .ppt, which has been uploaded and linked above.
