Q We’ll use this assignment to get to know each other a little better and to explore some poems from our selection. This informal discussion is meant to give you some ideas about the different interpretations we can offer. This is a first step toward writing an interesting essay about a poem, so feel free to use and develop the ideas from your forum contribution in Essay 1. You will need to MAKE A FORUM POST (1 POINT) and REPLY to one person’s post (1 POINT). Here are the guidelines for your post: 1. Tell us a little about yourself: your name (if the name you use is not the one on the roster, tell us what you like to be called) and a fact about yourself you’d like to share. 2. Choose one of the poems from the selection for Unit 1 (posted in the Handouts for Unit 1 area of our RESOURCES page). - Which poem did you choose (author, title)? - Which is the best line in this poem, in your opinion? Why? - Which is the most mysterious or baffling line in this poem? What makes it mysterious or confusing to you? - How would you describe this poem to a friend? What would you say it is about? 3. After posting your contribution, find a post by a classmate and reply. Here are the guidelines for your reply: - Say hi and say something about the other person’s chosen favorite line or most mysterious or confusing line. Contribute one idea or question to what they’ve written.
