Length: 2 pages plus a Works Cited page in MLA format. Use one primary source (1-2 the poems) and one secondary source (about the poem/s).
Primary and secondary sources: In this essay, you will write about one of the poems we read and discussed in class. You can also compare and contrast two of the poems we read and discussed in class. They can be two poems by two poets or two poems by the same poet. Make sure you choose a poem/poems from among the poems we read and discussed in the course from the coursebook as your primary source/s. Plus, use one secondary source such as a critique or literary analysis about the poem that you find on Google Scholar, JStore, or CCM Library Online Databases. Make sure your sources are credible. ***Avoid such websites as Cliffnotes.com, Shmoop.com, Sparknotes.com, Enotes.com, Litchart.com, … that come up in Google search! They do not have clear authors; therefore, they are not reliable. No one is responsible for the accuracy of the information they share. They usually provide a summary and some opinions but not analysis or interpretation. ***
For poetry, you can analyze the poetry elements such as theme, message or meaning of the poem, critical perspective (race, gender, nature, social class), poetic devices (such as imagery, metaphors, analogies, personifications, symbols, sounds) and or form and structure (such as stanzas, lines, rhymes, syllables, meters), etc. Meanwhile, form an argument, set a context, and say if you agree or disagree with the context, the poet, and the content of the poem. Quote and cite from the poem as evidence to your argument. Back up your claims by quotes from secondary or primary sources.
In your introduction: Mention the title of the poem and the name of the poet. Provide a context or background for your essay. Provide a thesis statement and or pose a question. Provide a plan of ideas. Basically, introduce your essay to your reader so they know what to expect from the essay after reading your introduction.
In body paragraphs: Develop one idea per one paragraph. In every paragraph, you should have a topic sentence that introduces the main idea of the paragraph. You need to use quotations from the poem/s, and secondary sources as evidence for your argument to support your idea. You should provide an interpretation for every quotation, and support it with extra details and examples. Personal examples and connections to the idea or poem is great! You should have an in-text citation for every quote and also give the full citation at the end of the paper on the Works Cited page. Remember, you should have citations even for your indirect quotes or paraphrases when you quote somebody else’s ideas in your own words.
