FOR March 30:
In class , your task was to write an Explication of the poem in 3 parts, as detailed by Stacy. We started working on this task, to be handed in March 30 in class OR given to me by Thursday midnight , the same week, (in my escaninho, sala dos profs, 4th floor) . There is a handout for this task. But you can also see the 3 parts of the task in Stacy´s video.
There is criticism to quote from ( quote at least 03 of these people) , available from:
