English I (Pre-AP): Punctuate "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"

Please punctuate William Carlos Williams' poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus." There are a total of five sentences, so please add capital letters(4) and periods (5), where appropriate. Adding commas may help you make better sense of the poem, too.

If you lost the copy you received in class, copy or print out the poem here.

Due: Monday, December 17, 2012.

All English Students: Literary Devices PowerPoint

All students must make a PowerPoint-style presentation of literary devices. Each slide must contain 3 things:
  1. The literary device
  2. The definition of the literary device
  3. and
  4. a creative example of the literary device

Presentations which include all three of those things on every slide will earn an 85%. In order to earn a 100%, every slide must also be creatively illustrated (fancy banners, drop-shadows, etc., do not count).

If you do not own a copy of MS PowerPoint, Open Office is a free office application that contains a presentation component. Google Drive also provides a free presentation software selection.

If a computer-based solution just isn't going to work out right now, you may create your presentation on paper. One literary device/definition/example per sheet (illustrations raise grade here, too).

See this earlier blog post for the terms and their definitions. You must come up with your own creative examples (taking them from the Internet will result in a Plagiarism=0 grade until a parent-student-teacher conference can be held).
