Post any specific questions you have about your R.A.F.T paper that is due on Tuesday, 2/6! I will check the blog over the weekend.
English III is a study of the tremendously diverse literature that has been produced in America from the time of the Native Americans to the present day. The primary focus of this course is to study and gain a better knowledge of the our culture by examining various literary works, critical reviews of such works, and secondary sources such as art work, movies, songs, etc.

Carly:
Exact rhyme. And you may format your essay as you described. Also, I am so proud of you that you are understanding poetry. I knew you could do it.
Alexis:
The introduction paragraph is good. You just need to fix the run on lines 7 and 8...."no one else, Emily States..." Also, last line you need to put "following the rules rather than God." It is clearer. Great job for a first draft of a Intro paragraph.
Hannah:
You can organize it anyway you want, just make sure you include everything that I put on that outline and that it flows.
Alexis:
Rhyme scheme is the sound of the words at the end of each line. Rhythm is the amount of syllables in each line. You were close!
Jennifer:
Your reader's response should be in your intro or conclusion. You would have more room for this type of thing if you are doing the critic, reporter, or sister RAFT.
Allie:
That is a good start to an introduction, but it is only one sentence and you need to have at least four or five. There is more to explain about the meaning of the poem...the guys working, the women being nothing but useless beauty....but a nice start.
Alex:
I will try to post it here...and you are indeed not worthless!!!

Look at the sample I gave you from the ppt handout. You want to incorporate the basic meaning of the poem and what you think is the most important literary device.
