Good evening :)
Just a reminder that Dr. Michael Anthony Ingram will be speaking to our class on Tuesday the 19th on performance poetry for social justice. He recommended that we read the following article: http://files.eric.ed.gov/
I'd also like you to look over chapter 16 on rhythm and meter.
Ugh. It took me two seconds to find the video of Prof. Wu's lecture on translating Robert Burns' poem into Chinese:
Jessica Marinaccio discusses the first translation of modern Chinese poetry here:
Here are a few more questions for you:
-- What does performance add to poetry?
-- Are you familiar with spoken word? If so, which spoken word artists are you familiar with? What do you make of this type of poetry? (Have you been to MC's slam?)
-- Have you written poetry? If so, which type do you prefer to write? Why?
-- How can poetry strive for social justice? Of the poems we've looked at so far, which poems fall into this category? Why?
-- If you were to write a poem about Rockville or Montgomery College, what would you include in it? Why?
-- If you were to write a poem about your life, what would you include in it? Why?
-- If you were to write a poem about an issue that concerns you, what would you include in it? Why?
-- What do you like about Patrick Camagian's approach to teaching high school literature? Why?
-- What would you change about his approach to teaching high school literature? Why?
-- How would you respond to his supervisors' lack of support? Why?
-- Choose one of the students' poems to discuss.
-- If you were to study the work of a hip hop artist in EN 190, which one would you study? Why?
-- If you were to study the work of a songwriter/musician in EN 190, which one would you study? Why?
-- What is the place of popular culture in a class like EN 190? Why?
-- Argue for or against translation. Refer to some of the poems (and other works) we've read.
-- Which question would you ask Dr. Ingram?
See you on Tuesday!
