Poetry Professor Wiki

Hey guys, I'm trying to create a resource for you folks. I've created a wiki for the class materials. I also uploaded the rubric. If you'd like, there's even a place over there where you can discuss the wiki. So, if you'd like, you can converse about the presentations. If you'd like. Anyway, here's that rubric. I'm pinning this post to the top of the blog for now.

A Few Notes:
1. No Poetry Professor presentations due Monday. We reconvene these sessions on Wednesday. I'll give you the adopted order on Monday.
2. If you were up to date on Invisible Man this week, then you'll be prepared for Monday/Tuesday's discussions. If you were not, get there please.
3. I have the extra credit available*. Pick a task. Write an essay. Do your best. Hand it in the essay stapled to the essay task. Get next day feedback (or that day if you come to me before school, 3rd, 10th or 11th period.
