Lessons, Week of 13-16 April and 20-23 April 2015

Please pass this on to your English 1302 classmates; BlahBoard isn't loading. Lessons, Week of 13-16 April and 20-23 April 2015 Congratulations to the drama and footie teams! To assist you in meeting academic, drama, and athletic schedules I will again grant flexibility in the due-dates. My recommendation is that you turn in your two MLA projects this week as scheduled; however, you are free to make the best decision for yourself in that matter. At present this class is probably not the top item on your agenda, but don’t let it be the last. Here is a list of your handouts and projects, including two new ones: Excerpts from Ian Droescher’s William Shakespeare’s Star Wars “Why Do We Read Poetry?” “How to Read Poetry When Your Teacher Assigns It” Glossary of Poetic Terms Brief biography of John Keats Themes, Motifs, and Symbols in Keats “On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer” “Bright Star” “Ode on a Grecian Urn” “To Autumn” As of this week you also have a handout on the basics of the sonnet and a new writing assignment, a letter to yourself in ten years.
