Writing day in the lab/lib

HW: As a group a full rough draft is due IN CLASS on Thursday/Friday. A full rough draft includes:

An introduction that contains all the parts we discussed in class and ends with a thesis

At least two body paragraphs relating specific devices (metaphors/symbols/allusion/imagery) to the common theme in both pieces

A final paragraph that connects the two poems and answers the question: What does the shared theme reveal about the authors' intent? What is the effect of the comparison of these two texts on the reader? What do we learn from a reading of both poems?

Bring your printed essay to class--you will not be in the lab!
