Period 7: please research and read about the poet and his/her poems that you have selected to research.
All poets can be found at this website: The Poetry Foundation.
Begin researching and taking notes about the details of your author's life. Who is he/she? Where did he/she live? What is he/she known for? What influences or philosophy or historical events helped shape this poet's work? What themes does the poet seem to favor in his/her poetry? How does this poet fit into the period in which the author wrote, and how does the poet influence poets AFTER he/she wrote? What happened to this poet? What major works/awards/books did this poet create/achieve/obtain? What other interesting things about your poet's life and work did you find interesting or important?
Write your notes into a 1 page script. You will be using this script for the next step in the project. Complete this script by the end of 7th period. If you finish early, feel free to write a poem. Keep all drafts in your portfolio for now.
At the end of period 7, please turn in your 1 page script.
HOMEWORK: Complete anything of the above that you have not finished in class.
Period 8: Please take a few minutes and learn about D.H. Lawrence before we pick up his book and read it. Return to room 238 after you pick up the book "Snake" and we'll read the following poems together:
"Snake" (pg. 44)
"Fish" (pg. 46)
"Bat" (pg. 50)
"The Mosquito" (pg. 52)
"Hummingbird" (pg. 54)
"Pomegranate" (pg. 55)
"Medlars & Sorb Apples" (pg. 56)
D.H. Lawrence: Please read the poems "From: Love Poems & Others--1913" and from "Amores (1916)" through "From: Tortoises" (pages 1-43).
Drawing evidence from the poems from these pages, write a paragraph review of D.H. Lawrence's poetry: what is his style? What did you notice about his style? How does Lawrence use poetic crafting techniques in his poetry? (look for imagery, style, meter, stanza form, diction, tone, theme, figurative language, etc.) Turn this analysis in Tuesday as homework/participation credit.
