English Comp. II - 08 - Exam is Wednesday, May 7, 2014 - 1:00 - 3:00
English Comp. II - 96 - Jones Co. - Wednesday, May 7, 2014 - 8 a.m.
Last full day of class is Monday, May 5
Any/all of the poems we discuss in the last two weeks are subject to being addressed in the final.
Topics will NOT be given in advance, but all possible topics are in the book. In addition to the 2-3 questions under "Considerations For Critical Thinking and Writing" that follow each poem, read further down to "Connection to Another Selection" (see the example on p. 703) to contemplate which topics would be appropriate for a final essay topic.
Whichever topics are chosen, you will need to find specific support from the poem's diction and syntax. Your essay will need to use supporting language from the poem, followed with your explanation of words/phrases/lines.
PLEASE read some of the student essays that analyze poetry to have an idea of what is expected. (Examples: pg. 609; 647; 669; 764; 789; 813; 861) NOT all of these are long and involved, but each uses specifics to support a thesis based on the poem(s).
