ACE/AP English (Days BCE)
Essay: after reading Miller's own comments on his play (1948-1951), explain how his creation, Willy Loman, shows his "indestructible will . . . to achieve his humanity." (1950); due Tuesday, 06/03, by 7 p.m.
   
On day 1, students read poems in class as needed. After that, students read as homework.
Students try to distinguish between prose, poetry, “the poetic,” using Forche, “The Colonel,” 986 and the reprinted excerpts from Thomas Mallon, Two Moons , NY: Pantheon, 2000 (in handout). Then contrast open form with closed form of poetry.
Students define rhyme, meter, foot, iamb, trochee, anapest, dactyl, spondee, alliteration, consonance, assonance, personification, simile, metaphor.
Students apply these technical terms and earlier literary approaches as appropriate to:
Open Form: e.e. cummings, “Buffalo Bill’s,” 978; W.C. Williams, “Dance,” 979; Crane, “Heart,” 981; Gildner, “First Practice,” 985.
Closed Form: Frost, “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” 1016; McKay, “America,” 1048; Yeats, “Sailing to Byzantium,” 1094; Browning, “My Last Duchess,” 751.
First day next week, we need to review for final exam.
