Please see me for any additional help or suggestions. The reference librarians are extremely helpful with research. I will assign the poem to the student and at the beginning of class the student will deliver a 7-10 minute presentation on the poem, using their own opinions as well as critical articles if they desire to do so. Please do not include biographical information about the author in this presentation. Again, see me or the reference librarians for suggestions.
Participation is crucial.
I would like each student to be prepared with at least three comments about the poems studied and read the night before. These comments may be personal opinions or may come from articles or books. The internet is a great source for information as well. I think you will find that the poems are interesting and inspiring and fun to anaylze. The poems may be read in Spanish, English, or both.
