Discussion Board Forum:
Go to the
discussion board forum area and answer the questions that I have posted.
Then, post two reponses to your classmates' posts about their history with
poetry, or questions/comments that you have about the poems you read for
this week. Write at least 250 words for each initial response, using well-
developed sentences and using at least one or two direct quotes from the
story that apply to your interpretation, and remember to carefully proofread
your response before posting it (write it in Word program first so you can use
spell/grammar check).
You should check the forum
daily, if possible, throughout the week. Participate in the discussion as it
unfolds. Remember: Your answers should be your own.
See the
document covering the Discussion Board Forum in the Course Documents
folder for further information about participating in the forums.

Be sure to check for my notes on the poems,
which will be posted in the Course Documents section, in the folder
"Williams and Frost; Feminist poetry."
These notes
are now posted and are available from now until the exam on poetry.
