Today, we discussed how nature is an endless fountain of inspiration for poets. Because so many were absent today, I'll go into more detail about this topic on Wednesday. For now, get acquainted with Elizabeth Bishop's "The Fish," a poem within this tradition. Click on the link below (Elizabeth Bishop Reading "The Fish") and...
1. Listen to Elizabeth Bishop reading her poem
2. Click on each of the Elements of Poetry (Assonance, Denotation and Connotation, etc.)
3. Read the definition.
4. Look at the examples in the poem.
5. Complete the exercise (2 prompts for each element).
No class Tuesday. Use the time to complete the exercise above, due Wednesday.
Note: The mid-term will be distributed Thursday (due Wednesday, Oct. 22nd) and we will begin a group project. You must be in class both Wednesday and Thursday to get credit for this project. Happy fall.
