Pretend you are a poetry reviewer for a British newspaper in 1899. Write a review (at least one page) in which you explain both of the poems we read in class and give your opinion on them. Which do you think is a better poem? Which view of imperialism do you support? (DOUBLE HOMEWORK) Due Friday, 1/3. Grading Criteria: 1) Original Work - Your sentences should be created "from scratch" using the poems and your classwork answers. 2) Creativity - Make up a name for your newspaper! 3) Opinion - Make sure you make your opinion (about which poem is better) clear. 4) Perspective - Remember, you’re writing as a 19th century British poetry reviewer, NOT an RKA student in 2017! 5) Evidence - Make sure that you include at least one specific line from each of the poems to support your review. 6) Citations - When you quote the poems, use a brief citation after the quote indicating the line number(s). [Ex. (13-16)] 7) Mechanics - This includes: spelling; sentence structure; grammar; and organization of ideas. 8) Paragraphs - No reader wants to read a block of writing with no end in sight. Break up ideas into smaller paragraphs. 9) Presentation - Typing preferred. Use the attached template. (double-spaced; 12-point Arial font; 1-inch margins)
