You Gotta Work, Work, Work, Work: November 30, 2017

Focus: How do we begin our poetry papers and projects?

1. Warming up with a little poetry project inspiration from Andy Goldsworthy

(Click HERE for the sample film we watched before break.)


2. Touching base briefly with poetry paper people:

• Enjoy two new freedoms: Background and structure

• Use the thesis workshop; e-mail me your thesis (any outlining/drafting) by Tuesday.

• Check out the sample essay.

3. Conferencing with poetry project people

• Using the proposal as your starting place; submit this or conference with me by Tuesday.

• Considering the role the presentation will play in your project (check out "Your God" as an example).

4. Getting to work, work, work, work

HW:
1. For tomorrow (Dec 1): Finish Chapter 1 in Part 2 and complete a reading ticket for Socratic. Your ticket can encompass the entire chapter or focus on the second half--whatever works for you. Here's a challenge if you need one: Try focusing on a minor character.

2. For Tuesday: E-mail me your thesis if you're a paper person; submit your proposal if you're a project person. You may also conference with me in lieu of either of these.

Heads-up! December 12-13: Poetry papers and project are due. Please not that you will NOT be able to revise these because you won't get them back until your final.
