Class today: (1/19) and Due: January 20th/21st

1. We take the first half of the poetry terms test today (up through hovering stress).
2. Remember- State of the Union notes and responses are due today.

For Wednesday/Thursday-
You will need to do a Formalist read of the two poems that you were given in class: "Invictus" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing". Do a very close read of these two poems. Utilize your poetry terms and your FORMALISM questions- Access them all. The handout. The two handouts I posted online. Use them all to pull as much meaning as you can.

When you have read each poem and thoroughly examined them, you are going to be developing a literary/Formalist argument.  Keep it to the thesis formula that I taught you first semester. Do your best! Just write it on the page of each poem.
