Initial Post:
Please apply the following questions to your assigned poem and respond:
Pick one specific word from the poem you were assigned. In a short paragraph [4-5 sentences] explain how that word’s connotative meaning helps the reader to better understand meaning/tone. Make sure you are critical and clear in your reasoning.
Consider who you think the narrator of the poem is. Who are they & who are they speaking to [audience]? How do you know? [Find evidence from the poem to support your reasoning.]
Response Post:
Please read through at least three [3] of your peers’ posts. Then, choose two [2] posts which respond to a different poem than the one you were assigned and start a conversation.
As in the previous discussion, please do not respond with: “Wow! I totally agree :)” Start a conversation. Ask some questions. Agree and add your own insight. Respectfully disagree and present your own interpretation. Give suggestions for further evidence or conflicting evidence. Think critically and deeply. You will be graded both on your post and on your thoughtful, active comments to your partners.
