Hi Class,

Here’s a brief review of the homework:

  1. Read the following poems: the three poems on the handout from class and two poems by Walt Whitman in our textbook: “Mannahatta” and “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry”
  2. Answer the following four questions: 1–What is poetry? 2–Why do people read and write poetry? 3–Where is poetry used? 4–How should we read poetry?

I hope that you enjoy reading the poems for Monday. Make sure to bring your textbook to class!

See you on Monday.

Cheers,

Prof. Scanlan
