Substitute Assignment 1.25.17
AP English 4 – Periods 5, 6, and 7:
Part 1: Having Scored Essays with AP Rubric and composed
critiques, SW work with partner to complete deconstruction of student essays
for 2012 Question 2 - Under the Feet of Jesus using the Deconstructing Student
Writing Essay. (please see student handout that is in drive folder – link is on
the Blog). By the end of the Period students will submit analysis of each
student essay scored a 5 or higher. Each student should turn in her/his own
copy of the assignment and their rubric scores.
Part 2: Please work with a student partner to render the
poem “she being Brand / -new” by e.e. cummings. Remember, as with the
assignment for “The Flea”, students will select one word, one phrase, and one
sentence from the text. In each instance unpack all the connotative meanings of
the WORD; then do the same with the PHRASE, and the SENTENCE. When you are
finished put the three together into a one page (college ruled) analysis of the
poem paying particular attention to how double entendre and verbal ironies
establish nuance and multiple meanings in the text. WHY DO YOU THINK CUMMINGS
CHOSE THIS KIND OF SYNTAX FOR THE POEM?
