Assignment: Having completed a close reading of, and class discussions on the “Poems Handout”, choose one of the following prompts and write a four-page essay that includes a minimum of one quote in each body paragraph:
Poems To Choose From:
“So Mexicans are Taking Jobs From Americans” by Jimmy Santiago Baca
“Blackberries” by Tusef Komunyakaa
“Singapore” by Mary Oliver
For this essay, please rely on your own knowledge and experience for interpretations and analysis, and not so much on research or application of theory that you may already be familiar with. I am more interested in your own thinking, analysis, knowledge and experience than that of another’s. Since I did not provide you with sources for the poems, we will forgo a work cited page this one time. When citing quote sources, you need only provide line numbers. I look forward to reading your own interpretations and analysis of the poems you choose.
Some Guidelines:
Introduction:
Body:
1. Everything in your body paragraphs must help develop and support your thesis statement.
2. Always begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence that will lead to the support and development
of your thesis. Never begin a body paragraph with a quote or a question as these are not topic
sentences.
3. Include 1-2 short quotes in each body paragraph. All quotes must include: 1) a context, 2) a signal
phrase, 3) a meaningful quote, 4) source, and 5) an analysis. If writing about poems, remember to use
slashes between lines to signal where lines begin and end in
the poem (see Poetic Devices Handout).
4. In your last body paragraph, please write about your response to the literature. Do not interweave your
response throughout the essay.
Conclusion:
Requirements:
1. A minimum of four full pages of writing.
2. MLA format/conventions for in text citations (quote usage).
3. Double space entire essay (no other kind of spacing).
4. Use Times New Roman #12 font and 1” margins all the way around.
5. Create a title for your essay (do not use Essay #1 or the titles if works you will be writing about).
