Directions: This assignments has two parts:
Part 1 - 300-500 words. Due Wednesday, July 25th:
In your first blog, write a personal response to your reading. Which three poems most appeal to you? Why? Comment on Collins's use of figurative language, imagery, diction, tone, etc. Include specific quotes and details from these poems and discuss how they were interesting or meaningful to you. Are there questions you'd like to pose to the class for consideration? You will not be able to see your classmates' responses until after July 26th.
Part 2 - 200 words. Due Wednesday, August 8th:
Don't begin your second blog until after July 26th, when all students will have completed their first responses. In your second blog, you must respond to one or more blogs that your fellow classmates posted. Feel free to comment on their responses, offer your own commentary on their observations and analysis of a poem, and/or try to answer a question that was posted.
Please acknowledge the person to whom you are responding by name.
IMPORTANT: Email dawsonw@whbschools.org before August 8th if you had trouble posting a comment for Part 1 (i.e. you don't see your comment published after 7/26) or you continue to have trouble posting a comment for Part 2.
