Poetry does not measure up for this moment

 Hello Class,

Once again, I just want to take the time to apologize for that debacle of a test. The test did not go smoothly, and I should have just re photocopied the 2.0 version. So grade 11s, I am sorry. Hopefully the extra 30 minutes for the essay will help remedy the fractured time in class. You are a lovely bunch and I look forward to fully engaging in all the other poetry and prose I have in store for us. 

Hand in your essay part of your test tomorrow at the start of the class. From there it's a free write (yay) and Of Mice and Men.

Take care,

L


D. Essay. Identifying Theme.

 

1. The short stories we have read imply more than they actually say on the literal level.  They may make some significant general comment about human beings, they may present abstract ideas; they may criticize some social wrongs or injustices, etc.  Chose any story which you think implies more than it says on the literal level, and in an essay explain what you think are its general conclusions. Identify your thesis statement by underlining it. (15 marks)
