In your responses to these questions, I would like you to write in complete sentences, and re-use language from Bishop's poem (properly cited).

3/21

History;  Bishop, “Twelve O'Clock News." Bring in a 1-2 page response to the poem, in which you substantially address one of Ryan's questions or prompts at the end of his exercise on "Twelve O'Clock News." Think of this as a mini-essay, with a narrative shape to it, rather than a list of observations--this means you should have a coherent and complete response to the prompt you've selected. Think about how to open and close your response, as well as how to title it.   

3/24

Essay 3 Due (Gender studies or History--continue and revise into your own essay one of the previous responses. You should work on one of the two poems we've covered in the last week.

3/28

Ethnic Studies; Post-Colonial Studies, Global English Studies; Bishop, “Brazil, January 1, 1502." Bring in a 1-2 page response to the poem, in which you address some of Ryan's points--you should think of this as a mini-essay, with a narrative shape to it, rather than a list of observations. You will therefore need to select one or two related questions to focus on. Consider, as well, how you will open, close, and title your response!

3/31

Browse WRLC holdings, MLAB for four scholarly resources on Bishop useful for your potential research analysis project from one of the perspectives we've studied. Try to find a book and three journal articles, or four journal articles. As you research, make notes about what you do (search terms, how you revise the terms or learn from previous searches, how you browse through subject headings, whether you could find hard/electronic copies, and so on) and any difficulties you experienced. Come prepared to discuss. Bring an MLA formatted bibliography of your two resources. BRING LAPTOPS TO CLASS!
