Read and respond to these poems with a very brief summary and your thoughts.
This response should be 3-4 pages, Times New Roman, 12-point, double-spaced, MLA style. Make sure you have a strong thesis and use supporting evidence to back your claims.
If you use outside sources, then you MUST include in-text citations and a Works Cited. If you read a source and take information from it, that is paraphrasing, and, thus, you need to include an in-text citation. Don’t use long quotes as filler: if you use a long quotation, then your response needs to be longer.
PLAGIARISM
You are expected to write primarily in your own voice, using paraphrase, summary, and synthesis techniques when integrating information from class and outside sources. Use an author’s exact words only when the language is especially vivid, unique, or needed for technical accuracy. Failure to do so may result in charges of academic dishonesty.
Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer.
