Review your Poetry Terms hand-out for following terms and

compare them to what’s in Perrine:

                                                               p. 860; also defn. p. 861

Blank verse                                       870

At some point, you should also double-check the definitions

as written in the glossary at the end of the Perrine text.

Using these basic terms from the review sheet and the chapter, table groups categorized the poems listed in #1 on p. 870 as blank verse, free verse, or "other."  Results varied widely . . . TBC.

FOR TOMORROW

Continue reading Crime and Punishment.  Get as close as you can to being done with Part III as scheduled.

However, I do want you to reinforce today's work with some short homework on p. 880.  

Do #1 as stated:  choose ONE poem of the ones listed.  You will need to copy it out, find an online copy and print it out, or use a scanner to scan the poem from the book.  Then do what the directions say for that one poem.

For #2, you only need to work with TWO poems instead of all five. You shouldn't have to copy out the poems to accomplish what the directions ask you to do.  Again, you will only need to respond to two of them.
