NEW POST INFORMATION!!! IMPORTANT!!

Hello all...

Once again, we will be starting the analysis sections of the blog up again. This time around I am looking for a detailed analysis of the piece. Obviously, I cant' have every posting a two page paper, but you will have to do a few things...tell me....

1. the basic understading of the piece
2. the tone of the piece
3. one literary device with examples that backs up the tone you've chosen. These should be 5-6 sentences minimum.

so, no more one liners of "this is a scary poem"..show me you know what you are doing here. If you do not have these pieces, you will receive a ZERO, so it's all or nothing.

This way will help me  to assess your understanding and your writing skills. If there are any issues, we can pull up the blog and review your writing ( as well as any other pieces you may bring me).

I will be posting a few at a time with due dates, so make sure to get them, done on time.

Second half of the year...

Hello all,

Honestly, I'm too sick right now to listen and review songs. So I thought I'd ask a pretty basic question: what do you feel you still need help in? Are your writing skills lacking a bit? Can't seem to get the analysis? Missing the point completely? Now is the time t let me know so we can work on it in class. I promised that you'd leave this year a changed writer and I will keep that promise, but you have to let me know how it's going. Okay? That's all I wanted to say....it's a snow day...my nyquil is kicking in...and I need a nap.

See you tomorr......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
