Each student will turn in two sets of journal assignments. Finally, since poets are members of a larger community, they have a responsibility to present work to the public . Weekly efforts by groups involved in the Poetry Goes Public project will help make this happen. A semester-end poetry reading will provide all writers with a forum for their work. Students will present at least one complete poem in a public forum.
Attendance is required.
A final portfolio featuring your revised poems will be collected at the end of the semester. Active, thoughtful, and respectful participation in class activities will also contribute significantly to the final grade. Do not put your name on the poem. Indicate at top or bottom whether you wish to receive a Hot, Medium, or Mild reading from your peers. By Tuesday Noon, deliver the copies to Sherman Hall.
