No class (Midterm week: January 30–February 3, 2012) |
|
Feb. 2 |
Midterm Exam (8–10 a.m. in class) The midterm covers material from the
beginning of the semester through week 7. There will be essay
questions from which you will choose two to write on. As
always, it is helpful to take a few minutes to plan an outline
before writing your essays. Formulate a thoughtful
thesis/argument in responding to the question that allows you
to address effectively the requirements of the prompt. For
each prompt, you do not need to answer every single question
in the cluster in order and separately. The sub-questions are
there to help you think about the topic. Cite specific acts,
scenes, lines, or words in support of your argument. You will want to show us your critical
and analytical skills: demonstrate that you have read closely
and understood the material, that you can critically engage
with that material, with discussion in class, and with the
test question, that you can synthesize material and knowledge
gained, and that you can write clear and effective prose. Give your essays a title if you like.

Reading Response 3 due in class. Billy Collins, in his essay
"The Ride of Poetry," suggests that "the poem can act as an
imaginative vehicle, a form of transportation to a place
unknown." Among the works, not even necessarily poetry, in
this latter half of the semester, which one especially
"spirits [you] away to a new conceptual zone"? Write about
the ride that the work has given you, keeping in mind
Collins's description that "to view a poem as a trip means
taking into account the methods that give a poem vehicular
capability. It means looking into the way a poet manages to
become the poem's first driver and thus the first to know
its secret destination."
