Today, we debriefed from yesterday's library session, working our way through some of the e-books, online databases, and web sites noted on the Engl 133 class guide. Then, we watched a short video of a Joy Harjo reading, to get a sense of her voice. In their journals, students were asked to answer the following question: "Do you consider Harjo’s 'Santa Fe' to be poetry? Why or why not?" Then, we briefly discussed the 3 poems assigned last week: "Santa Fe," "A Poem for Myself (Or Blues for a Mississippi Black Boy)" and "The Jewish Cemetary at Newport." For more on Longellow's poem, please see the link below. Finally, groups met for 5-6 minutes to discuss their group presentation.
Tomorrow's homework:
Write one discussion question related to “Easter 1916” (pg. 265-267).
Write one statement/insight related to “Punishment” (pg. 496-7).
