Greetings Scholars!
Hope you are having a fantastic day.
Here's a breakdown of what we will be working on today.
We will use 6th Period to research our
poets. If you can't remember the name of the poet you are researching, please
ask me. Take out the packet I gave you earlier.
We will use 7th period to discuss the
theme of escape in "Small Island." If you haven't already done so,
please complete your chart and post your comment on the blog. Turn in a copy of
your comment to me for grading. Make sure you have responded to every part of
the question.
If time allows, after our discussion, I
will give you time to analyze your poet's work.
Now
Then
How should you use information found on
the internet?
Here are five things you need to keep in
mind when you find a website about your poet.
1) Authority
2) Accuracy
3) Objectivity
4) Currency
5) Coverage
Do not assume information on the internet
is always true or free.
Give credit to your sources
Avoid plagiarism.
For
the essay:
1) Think what you want to know about the
poet you chose.
2) Think about the effects of:
Geography---Living in a hot climate by the sea will create
different experiences then living in a cold mountainous place.
Current event---Growing up during a war, fighting in a war,
political unrest.
Family structure---Eldest who cares for siblings, living with
relatives, poverty.
State of the economy---Growing up during the depression, living in
a poor country.
3) Poetry is a reflection of the poet's
understanding or interpretation of an experience, and their environment will
influence their writing.
4) Begin your research and take notes on
your poet to integrate into your poetry analysis.
