The Final Thursday Workshop: April 19, 2018

Focus: How can workshopping help us improve our poetry timed writings?

1. Warming up with another Walk Down Memory Lane: Terms, Weeks 13-18

2. Synthesizing the poems by focusing on tiny details:
  • With a partner, make a quick t-chart (or Venn diagram, or whatever spacial entity inspires you) in which you list words/phrases from the Dickinson poem that have a direct correlation, either through similarity or contrast, with words and phrases from the Frost poem
3. Discussing the poems separately and together in terms of...
  • Moments (imagery, diction, punctuation, etc) 
  • Movements (shifts, patterns, shapes)
  • Multiple meanings (tone and theme)
4. Browsing the rubric and sample essays; applying feedback to our own essays

HW:
1. Continue drafting your culminating essay. You have a little over one week left, and there will not be time to revise. Make your final draft a true final draft, and one that you're proud of.

Final draft due Thursday, April 26 by 3:00 pm.

2. Friday will be a fast & furious recap of Shakespeare's Hamlet. If you are absent tomorrow, please use the blog to review Hamlet on your own.
