CLASS CANCELED TONIGHT, THURSDAY 10/12

Hello, everyone,

Unfortunately, I am not feeling well today and will need to cancel our class tonight.

I’m sorry for the short notice and inconvenience.

If you have not yet completed your fourth post assignment, please do so today.

In lieu of class, I am going to ask that, before we meet again on Tuesday, you respond to at least TWO of your classmates’ post assignments. That way, we can have at least a little bit of conversation about the poems we were supposed to talk about today. I will also be offering some responses.

For complete instructions on how to respond to your classmates’ posts, see here:

Post Assignment #5: Responding to Your Classmates’ Fourth Post

Please reach out if you have any questions!

Post Assignment #5: Responding to Your Classmates’ Fourth Post

In light of our canceled class on Thursday, 10/12, I would like you to take some time to respond to a couple of your classmates’ fourth post assignments.

Please complete the following:

  1. First, make sure you have completed your fourth post assignment.
  2. After you have completed your fourth post, read through the posts of your classmates.
  3. Select TWO posts to reply to. Be sure to prioritize those posts that do not yet have any replies. Click the “reply” button at the bottom of your selected posts and write a paragraph in which you respond to your classmate’s interpretation of their selected poem. Do you agree with their interpretation? If so, why? Do you have a slightly different interpretation? If so, explain.

Offer your replies by 5 PM on Tuesday, 10/17.

In addition, be sure to read “Glitter in My Wounds” and “You Cannot Return a Stretched Mind” by Caconrad before class on Tuesday. You can access the link to the anthology below. It is also available on the course schedule page.
