Dylan Thomas' 
"Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night"










Yusef Komunyakaa's "Facing It"



After class exploration and on-demand writing regarding these poems, pick one of the observations that you want to share with the class.  If you like, cut and paste directly from the document created in class.  You may also edit a bit....if you just can't handle the relaxed and imperfect nature of what you originally produced.  Either is FINE with me.

Once all responses are in, I will assign you TWO students.  You will respond to their original posts.  This response may be agreeing with and extending on observations they made. It may also disagree, with evidence to support your claim.  Finally, you may share a totally different insight than what they discovered.

This early exploration will hopefully assist as we begin our more detailed explications.
