Lit 12: Dylan Thomas, the villanelle form, "Do Not Go . . . "

I collected the poems on T.S. Eliot. We have 2 more poems to complete from our core list and then we'll start review and supplement some authors with new poems. We may add an Auden poem and a Spender poem.

You need to make notes on Thomas, the villanelle form and this poem.
Get the notes from a peer as well.

If you were absent today, bring a note to explain it; otherwise, I will not accept the late work.

We have two weeks to go. Attendance during the review period counts. There will be pop quizzes. Do not miss.

Monday: In class essay. To prepare, review essays you have written this year, literary must-haves, vocabulary list, terms list.

Organize the core works in themes:

poems about death, love, injustice, heroism, politics, society, religion/spirituality,

Try to predict what the questions will be.

I  will give you three questions. Choose one. Choose three works from the list. Attempt to use a work not on the core list. Your novels count. The play counts.

Study.
