Project methodology:How should we work in a group?

Metaphysical and Cavalier Poetry

To begin with…The quality of the documents!!!

• Girls, some of the documents you are bringing are of very poor , simple substandard quality.

• Some of you have started the project on your own. Come ready to begin from scratch.

• Also, if your document quality is substandard, search again and bring something better!!!

What standard of quality should I have for the documents I bring to

my group?• As the instructions say, EACH student bring one

complete, sophisticated document on Cavalier poetry and another complete sophisticated document on Metaphysical poetry.

• Total for each student: 2• Total for each group: 6

Remember!

• You are going to attach your highlighted docs to your final work as proof of your classwork, as well as any draft.

• The more classwork evidence there is, the better.

• It is draft work not final work. Don’t worry about imperfections. It’s part of the fun.

AT THE END

• The final project must have attached the SIX highlighted, annotated, «scribbled» documents, aside from any rough drafts you prepared IN CLASS, signed by the teacher.

• Each document must have the OWNER´S name.• Ex: Juanita´s Metaphysical document. Juanita´s Cavalier document.Each document must be identified with its www source too.

What do we mean by «complete document»?

• Any document on a literary movement will contain the characteristics, the representative poets and their representative works.

• In addition, it may contain the origins and background, it may compare it to other movements to help the reader appreciate the movement, it may quote (say) what other experts say and it may mention points that experts disagree on.

• «Complete» also means that we are not going to summarize. Use the ink that you have to.

• You may unite documents to make one complete one if you do not find this in itself. Make sure each section is of complete, good quality.

• Make sure you write the source for each section.

What do we mean by «sophisticated document»?

• We mean that we are not going to bring a short, simple document and that we are not going to bring the easiest to read, a simplified summary of a series of documents .

• We are not going to bring documents that are all right for a First Secondary or Third Secondary student. We have to reach higher.

conceit• A figure of speech that is intellectually

challenging.• I would add that the author’s knowledge,

ingeniousness and creativity or originality are displayed in a conceit

BTW, for 4B

• Dr. Fischman´s answer to your career questions are in Publico 44, in a PDF document for you to check.

• Pls write a thank you note from the class for him.

• It was a happy coincidence.

About the authors

• It SAYS a «minimum of 5 authors». • But do not cut out important authors. Yours is a

COMPLETE document. You can have even ten authors.

• Write dates (birth and death) and one or two sentences abt each author showing why he is outstanding.

• Follow each author with the TITLES of his main works.

About the poem you choose to analyze

• After reading all about a movement, select a REPRESENTATIVE poem.

• Make a glossary for it.ANALYSIS• Find examples from your poem for the

movement´s characteristics (Metaphysical or Cavalier).

• Use a chart similar to Petrarch´s chart to show your information.

• If necessary, give a brief explanation for your choice of example.

Example chartMetaphysical/CavalierCharacteristic

Example from poem Explanation or justification for choice

Characteristic 1 Example for ch. 1 Explanation

Characteristic 2 Example for ch. 2 Explanation

Characteristic 3 Example for ch. 3 Explanation

Characteristic 4 The whole poem. The author develops the idea of…. , which…

Characteristic etc. Example for ch. etc. Self-evident (obvious)

Some examples may involve the complete poem. For example, an idea that is developed throughout the whole poem.

ILLUSTRATIONS

• You may want to print the same poem two times. • The second time, you can separate the lines more

so there is space for your illlustrations.• What should you illustrate?– Any single or global image that appeals to your

imagination through your senses.– A symbolic illustration for more abstract language, if

possible.– Clarify what you are illustration with words or with an

arrow connected to a phrase in the poem.

NOT BRINGING YOUR WORK TO CLASS

• Have you observed that even though it is the second or third session of group work, some girls have still not brought their own documents?

• The evaluation chart says how many points these students are losing as INDIVIDUALS.

• Be careful!! Documents that are not signed by the teacher are not EVIDENCE of CLASSWORK.

What does MLA mean?

• It means MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION.• This association’s proposition of formats for

papers and references and citations has become generalized for papers related to the humanities.

• There is also the APA format: AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION which is of generalized use. This format is even more widespread.
