Slides for today's work have been posted for you on Google Classroom. Remember the idea that the structure of the poem can lead you to ideas of the content in the poem. If you see a lot of structure (no matter when it was written) it probably has something to do with more traditional topics - or it's being ironic. We practiced today with Shakespeare, Drayton, Donne, and Soyinka. By doing this, we set both ends of our timeline, and next class we'll fill in the very large gap.
Tonight, as you read five additional poems, consider where they fall on the timeline. The poems are in your Perrine's book, except for Akhmatova who is posted below. We have vocabulary cards as well - they'll be collected as a set of ten at the end of the unit.

Solid workshop today everyone. It was a day to work through our edits, apply what we've done, and make sure that our PREP folders are in a good place as I look at them this weekend.
The main focus right now is the collection of data to answer your questions. If you have been finding barriers to collection, then what can you do to solve them? Do you have the tools that you need to organize the data for answering your question? How can you work with your classmates or others in the community to accomplish the work?
Now that you've created content (your introduction) it's a good chance to remind yourself of the tools on DigitalPortfolio. TurnItIn Originality Reports can help you to find possible plagiarism in your papers. Make sure that things are cited. Use your access to the PurdueOWL if you need it. There's also an infographic posted on plagiarism and the various types.
Keep writing. Keep collecting. We'll be doing a second round of elevator pitches on January 31 with slides. Be ready for this - it's a good jumpstart on your POD. The instructions for Elevator Pitch 2.0 are on the final slide posted.
