- Elizabeth Bishop "One Art" exercise. Not collected, but I'll be cruising the room tomorrow, and we'll have a bit of final wrap-up in 1st and somewhat more completion in 5th (still brief). See p. 709 and study this poem if you were absent.
- Connected with the idea of a villanelle, read about the form and study the Dylan Thomas poem (pp. 905-907)
FOR TOMORROW
Yes, you should have been reading VI-VII of C and P. You still should. The Epilogues are still due on Wednesday. But they are short, and if necessary, you can double-up FOR Wednesday.
For tomorrow, your first priority is the hand-out you received at the end of class today. For the side with two poems and the AP prompt, spend 40 minutes writing a legit AP poetry essay. Hand-written. Ink. Staple together in the usual way. Due promptly at the start of class.
Do this in good faith. Set your phone or the oven timer, don't multi-task, and do your best.
- No looking anything up (actually, don't even use a dictionary, because you won't be able to use one on the AP exam)
- Adhere to the 40 minutes, +/- five minutes. (You will have 120 minutes to write three essays, and you are advised to spend minutes each. It is okay to shift 5 minutes: one 40 minute essay, a 45, and a 35, for example. No one keeps track of this. It's unwise to deviate more than this, however, because no matter how smart/good you are, one essay will be getting short shrift.)
