discussion: 2008 question 1 DUE Tuesday, 1/24 at 7:25

Hi, AP kiddies!
This blog post is based on your personal connections (not online) in making sense of "When I Have Fears" and "Mezzo Cammin." Study these two poems and discuss your response to the prompt, reflecting on the similar concerns of the poems, considering comparing and contrasting elements, and identifying poetic techniques that are used by Keats and Longfellow. Be sure to be thorough and thoughtful, and you are welcome to respond to your classmates. I'll be grading you on your specificity and detail with your discussion; I'm not looking for a "correct" answser. However, you will use this discussion to prepare you for further work with these two poems. Happy blogging. :) This is due Tuesday, 1/24, at 7:25

1st practice posting - due 11/15 @ 3pm

After watching the movie The Island, consider and share your take on the film's purpose. How is this purpose revealed through the plot? (Consider messages about humanity, ethics, and science.) You are encouraged to build on postings from your peers as you fashion your own response!
Hi, kiddies! In an effort to expand class discussions and give you opportunities to learn outside of the classroom, we will use a class blog. This experience will also get you used to using this format in future classes - especially college classes.
Just remember to email me at rraloff@cps.k12.in.us if you ever have any issues.
:) Mrs. Raloff
