Blog Writing for Tuesday, Jan. 12

Step 1: Select one poem from those on the syllabus for Tuesday.
Step 2: Make a comprehensive list of the images in this poem. This can just be a list without complete sentences. The purpose is to create an inventory so you can then decide what to focus on in your writing.
Step 3: Now, select one type of image or a few images you think somehow work together in that poem and write a 300-400 word hypothesis about how this image offers an interpretation of the poem.

For example, if this assignment was today you might have written a comparative argument about the three images in Shakespeare's quatrains. You might have compared the people and their settings in Wordsworth, whether incorporating the bees or not.

The poems for Tuesday are rich in imagery, so this should be an inviting assignment. Please have it posted on your blog before we meet Tuesday morning.
