Upcoming assignments: Week of October 19

Dear Students,
This week we will be culminating our discussion of Heart of Darkness with literary elements group presentations. You will also be submitting your final draft of your free-response essays on Friday.

In addition, your "final draft" of your personal essays are due Wednesday.

This week we are also beginning our exploration of poetry!!!! We will be studying the poetry of Moore, T. S. Eliot, John Donne, Nikki Giovanni, Robert Frost, Shakepeare, Robert Browning, among others. We will discuss ways to understand poetry, including lessons on form, rhythm, meter, and the like.

"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words. "
-Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
