Composition III

Poetry Analysis – Williams, “This is Just to Say” 

 

Rough Draft   By the due date assigned, attach the rough draft of your essay as a Microsoft Word document to the Discussion Area. The essay assignment for this week is to compose a paper of at least 750 words in which you offer your interpretation of a literary element poem (such as theme, imagery, symbolism, or characterization) in one of the assigned poems. Tips for the Essay 1.Open your introduction with an engaging opener, such as a question, quote from the poem, or interesting idea. Then, connect to the poem and mention the title and the author. End your introduction with a thesis statement that interprets one literary element of the poem (such as theme, imagery, symbolism, or characterization). 2.The body paragraphs should support your thesis. Present specific aspects of the poem that help to illustrate your points. Make sure to quote from the poem and analyze specific lines that support your argument. 

3.Include a strong concluding paragraph that summarizes your main points and explains the significance of the thesis.   APA Reminder  Use APA style for formatting the essay and for source citations. Begin with a title page. Include a running header, and use proper font and spacing. End with a separate references page. Refer to the Week 1 lecture on avoiding plagiarism for an APA essay template and additional resources.
