Don't worry--you won't be committing you or your classmates to anything. But think for a moment all that you've encountered and thought about this semester in 300. Survey in your mind the depth and breadth of reading you've covered. And then consider: what sort of question would best allow you to demonstrate your learning in this class?
Propose an essay question for the 300 take-home final here. It should either (a) encourage close reading of poems from the course, (b) allow you to display interpretive and analytical skills that you have gained in your study of C18 women's poetry, (c) draw on the knowledge you have acquired in the course of the semester, or ideally, (d) some combination of (a), (b), and (c).
Deadline: Monday (5/4), noon.

Expanding on something I mentioned in class, something I would put on an exam would be two poems--one we've read in class, one that we have not but from roughly the same time period, and ask the writer to compare the two poems. The questions would be to compare the two poems to each other--what do they do similar or different from each other, and how do those similarities/differences fall into or out of the studies of 18th century poetry...
