Mid-term Exam

Hello, all! I'm sorry that I am only just now posting this information, but my Friday proved to be much busier than usual.  This week I hope you will enjoy writing a post-colonialist critique of a film or television episode. I have posted a link to a website with some extra helpful information about this type of criticism to use (if you so choose) in addition to the class notes from Friday.

This week, in addition to your critical essay, you should also review the main points of Deconstruction,
Reader-Response,  New Criticism, and Post-colonialism. I will provide a poem for you to read in class, and you will be asked to examine and relate what each of these different schools of criticism would identify as the "meaning" of the poem.

Thank you for all of your hard work so far this semester! I am very proud of each of you!
