Today in class we practiced annotations. See https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/ and for an example https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/

We read the essay:  Giraldi, William. "The Art of Reading John Donne." Poets & Writers. 38.2 (2010): 31. Expanded Academic ASAP. Web. 8 April 2014.

Together we did an annotation and shared the various parts.

For Thursday, bring in a paper copy of your essay on the play W;t. Bring it in electronically as well.

Choose from one of the 23 prompts that work as essay questions. They all do not. Write a 4-5 page essay, similar in form to the essay on I and You and Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself."

Also make sure you include three sources in the references.Here is a link to the questions: http://facstaff.gpc.edu/~charris/Drama%20Study%20Questions/Wit2.doc

See Gardner, "Writing about Plays" (111). You might also want to look at "Literary Criticism and Literary Theory" (166).
