Focus: How can metacognition help us close-read poetry?
1. Warming up with an overview of your Shakespearean "homework"
2. Offering you a few metacognitive reminders
3. Performing the metacognitive
HW:
1. By next Friday, November 22: Start brainstorming ideas for your project (see the attached plan in your packet) and possible thesis statements for your essay. E-mail me, submit hard copies, or stop in for a quick chat.
2. By Wednesday, December 4: Turn in your typed, printed one-pager on the Shakespearean film you have watched (see overview).
Heads-up! December 9-10: Poetry papers and project are due. Because we will be at the end of the semester, please note the following:
1. No extensions will be granted.
2. You will NOT be able to revise these because you won't get them back until your final.
Please plan ahead and spread this out over the next few weeks. You will have one work day in class, but this is largely designed to be an independent, college-style assignment.
