After all of our Anglo Saxon ideology has extinguished - as it should with your essay due today - we turn our analytical minds to poetry and how an author conveys a theme in meter, stanza, and structure. To mark this shift, you had your poetry diagnostic prompts, which means absentees you have something big to do in the next 48 hours.
Tomorrow we will start our Petrarch & Donne packet, an opportunity to immerse yourselves in poetry and identifying literary elements in poetic formation. After that packet, we will then go into the nitty gritty, the minutia of poetry: syllables, feet, meter, stanzas, and all the little items that further separate poetry from the prose world. For all of you "scared" of poetry, you won't be - at least not as much - after working so much on this genre.
Back to grading...
