Helen Poetry

Today we looked at the AP poetry essay.
Main things to keep in mind:
  • answer the prompt in a clear specific thesis
  • read the poem(s) at least three times
  • look at structure, word choice, images, symbols to get yourself started

The first week in December will be a time poetry essay in class so if anyone would like to write the Helen one for practice I would be happy to score it for you :o)

Upcoming Work: Papers due Wednesday. If you haven't talked to me about your paper I highly suggest that you do so. Remember you have to answer the "so what."
