I Hope You Like Enjambing, Too: December 5, 2017

Focus: How do we apply our poetry reading skills to multiple choice questions?

1. Warming up with a mini lesson on enjambment with our good friends Langston Hughes and e.e.cummings

2. Trying out a little end-stopped poetry MC
  • Mentally prepping: What kinds of questions are you going to see? 
  • What kinds of strategies are you going to use?
  • We are going to grade and record this set, so please make sure you answer every question.

3. Speed dating with your MC answers

HW:
1. For today: 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.

2. Wednesday will be a paper/project work day. 

3. For Friday: Finish Part 2 and read Chapter 1 in Part 3; complete and print a reading ticket (I challenge you to try something new since there are only two reading assignments left). We will start Friday with Socratic musical chairs.

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.
