Regarding the Poem Assignment
Make sure that you have your poem, reflection, and Works Cited for tomorrow.
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions/Comments:
1) Should I define the foreign words somewhere?
Yes, define them at the bottom of the poem in the form a mini glossary. See "The Second Coming" for a model.
2) Should my Works Cited be its own page?
Yes, it should be a separate page. HOWEVER, it should come at the end of the reflection so it should be numbered as the last page.
3) Do we need to print out and bring in our research?
No.
4) How much is this worth?
50 points.
5) This is a lot of work!
That's why it was assigned over a week ago. (Last Wednesday, to be precise.)
6) Can I use a late coupon?
No, we have no late coupons this quarter. You will lose 10% of the score for each day it is late. (Weekend days count as well.)
