We worked on poetry in the first hour. The instructor checked in student's poetry criticism. Some students did not have criticism, so the instructor went to their genre or movement and showed them how to find other terms under which to research.
Next we worked on explication. We read a poem and answered the explication questions, which are on the blog.
For next week, students are to add two more sources to their poetry research. They are to put all sources in an Annotated Works Cited in the same way they learned in class. The two new wources are to be highlighted. Annotated--a reminder--is a paragraph following the source that summarizes what the article says.
In addition, students are to turn in a one-page explication of their poem. The questions/answers (as we did in class) is an acceptable format.
