Two criteria you may use for evaluating sources are the validity and the relevance of the source to your topic. Read pp. 375-387 theHandbook as well as this link: Valid and Invalid Sources to learn more about what makes a source valid. Find one source in the library database on your book. Cite it and tell us why you would consider it valid. Find a source online. Cite the source accurately, and then tell us why you think this source would or wouldnot be considered valid. To clarify: you should Önd a source from both a library database and an online source. Post to the dropbox by Sunday night. Assignment 3: Poetry Analysis Questions We are preparing for our mid-term exam, which will include a poem to analyze in an in-class essay. In order to practice this analysis, choose a poem from our text (other than one we have already read), and answer the following questions with a well-developed answer for each question giving examples from the text. Submit this assignment to the dropbox by next Wednesday. 1. What is the poem about? Describe the action of the poem. 2. Who is the speaker of the poem?It is not the author necessarily. What can you tell about the speaker from the poem? 3. What is the organization of the poem? Look at lines, stanzas, sentences, and/or rhyme schemes. How does that affect the meaning of the poem? 4. How is language used in this poem? Do you Önd metaphors, analogies, symbols, alliteration, Ögures of speech that carry connotations as well as denotations. (Connotations would be the suggested meaning as opposed to denotations which would be the literal meaning—see glossary for literary terms in The Norton.) 5. What do you have problems with or do not quite understand in this poem? Be as speciÖc as possible, and look at what the section might possibly mean. (Hint: use a dictionary if a word isn’t clear; sometimes poets use a word or phrase with a different meaning than the common one.)
