The Poetry Unit. We are studying American Poetry the next two weeks (5/6-5/20).

Outside of class, we will read a non-fiction book. Students are required to obtain their own copies. The due date for obtaining the book is 22 April 2013. Students will write an in-class research paper as their final exam essay. I have linked articles that the students may use. Date of essay TBD.
