Nature Sonnets - FIRST DRAFT - DUE Monday, March 21
Please write an essay that represents 30-40 minutes of your best ideas and writing on the following question.
How do the two sonnets "On the Grasshopper and the Cricket" and "Report to Wordsworth" present and deal with the theme of nature?
This FIRST DRAFT MUST be complete BEFORE CLASS on Monday, 21 March. (This basically means by Sunday night.) If a student has not submitted a first draft TO THE BLOG on time, a grade of "zero" will be recorded for which there will be no make-up. Since we will need your first draft ON THE BLOG ON MONDAY, there will be no excuses, including absence or computer problems for it not being there. For this reason, you may want to make a point of finishing this homework sometime this week and letting me know in advance if you are having some problem.
