2. Discuss poems and sound.
3. Discuss Clearances by Seamus Heaney
HW: Participate in discussion on wiki, study for final.
January 13
1. Correct these sentences.
In Frankenstein The first four letters and the preface I read weren't mainly about the story it covered the intention of the writing and background of the narrator the book starts with an exploration of the narrator and covers a lot of topics through his letters. For example loneliness risks taken by discovery of new knowledge, and etc it seems like the letters are foreshadowing whats coming up in the future of this book. -- Try for 3 sentences. There is a possibility of a colon AND a dash.
2. Discuss homework and sound. answer sheet for sound exercises
3. Play with "Sound and Sense" by Alexander Pope
4. Choose one of the poems from the reading to explore further.
2. Review vocab and punctuation. Write a sentence with a vocab word (that demonstrates the meaning of the word) and uses one of the punctuation methods discussed in class.
3. Book discussion (at beginning so I don't forget).
4. Discuss papers, enjambment,
5. Read poems.
HW: Read the given handouts (chapter), do 2-6 of the exercises, be able to explain reasons. Directions (since not included) In each of the paired quotations, the named poet wrote the version that more successfully adapts sound to sense. As specifically as possible, account for the superiority of the better version. You may do this by taking notes to the side. I expect participation in the discussion.
Example: Go forth -- and Virtue, ever in your sight, / Shall be your guide by day, your guard by night.
Or . . . Go forth -- and Virtue, ever in your sight, / Shall point your way by day and keep you safe at night.
(I actually think the first example is better due to the parallelism. However, the first is choppier, not as smooth when read aloud. The second has the emphasis on the verbs and maybe a stronger action of protection. Also, the internal rhyme of day and way helps. So though I thought the first (at first), the second upon further reflection works better according to the sound.
Who makes up the "we" in the poem? How would you describe the "we" and what are they doing throughout the poem (consider their age and attitude)?
How would you describe the voices, or identities, of the "we"? What three adjectives best describe the pool players?
Was it difficult to pause after each "we" (where the line breaks). Why or why not?
What was different about your and John Ulrich's reading of the poem?
What about the poem stood out as you were reading the poem?
What is the mood or tone of the poem?
How would you describe the sound of the poem - like a song, a chant, or some other sound?
4. Enjambment Discussion HW: Write a 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 page analysis of the impact of line breaks—and how it affects tone, rhythm, and theme—in one of the following poems: Erosionby Linda Paston Reapersby Jean Toomer
3. Poem HW: Read outside book. MEET on skpe in a coffee shop half way through. Send some sort of evidence (a recording on skype, a video of part of meeting)
