Attention to dates

See your explication dates and note consequences of missed deadlines! No second drafts without the full process of the first draft. Understand this!

Grade Three (40%): complete a thorough, researched explication of one of the poems that is at least twenty lines in length. For poems longer than thirty lines, you may work stanza by stanza rather than line by line. Draw conclusions about the poem based on this close reading.
• Draft one with research sources and at least five lines attempted: March 26, both classes.


• Draft two with complete attempt, typed and formatted, my comments addressed: April 16


• Draft three with my comments addressed: April 23

• Proofread and finalize: April 30



• Graded on deadlines and response to comments. Twenty points deducted for missed deadlines; lost credit for work over a week late.
