Class began with writing summaries of Takkaki's argument, and then finding quotes from the Takaki that supported these summaries.
The class then reviewed the concept of a "Found Poem" using these examples for the novel Frankenstein.
Next students brainstormed appropriate words and phrases from the Takaki to use in the poem. Students had time to begin drafting a poem to meet the following requirements in class. This poem and a self-evaluation responding to the following prompts is due NEXT class.
The poem should use carefully selected words, phrases, or short passages from Takaki.
The poem should use poetic technique (structure; rhythm; repetition, etc) to illustrate in a different way than the original essay Takaki's ideas.
Another way of explaining this is: If Takaki were a poet, not a professor, how would he have expressed his point?
SELF EVALUATION QUESTIONS (put on back of the poem):
