You Gotta Work, Work, Work, Work: December 5, 2018

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

1. Warming up with a little poetry project inspiration from a few years back: Click HERE for the sample film; click HERE for a commercial that reminds me of a poetry project.

2. Touching base briefly with paper people:

• Enjoy two new freedoms: Background and structure

• Use the thesis workshop; e-mail me your thesis (any outlining/drafting) as soon as possible.

• Check out the sample essay.

3. Conferencing with project people

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

• Considering the role the presentation will play in your project.

4. Getting to work, work, work, work

HW:

1. For FRIDAY: Finish Part 2 in Beloved and create a reading ticket for Socratic.

2. ONGOING: Paper writers: E-mail me your thesis and any brainstorming you might have. Project creators: Fill out your proposal (it's in the packet I gave you, which is also linked to the website). IF you are completely stuck, don't panic. We will have a work day on Wednesday; you can touch base with me then.

PROJECT PEOPLE: Please print me a clean copy of your poem by Monday, Dec 10.

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.
