Week Three: Narrative through the Sonnet

Craft discussion and in-class writing

Dear Class,

Week 3! This Sunday we will be discussion Diane Seuss’s Frank:Sonnets, and focusing too a on some excerpts from last weeks’ Adam Phillips’s essay.

We will also take time to do some in-class writing. I encourage you to each be actively thinking and composing while you read all these things.

Keep a journal composing your thoughts and ideas, as well as writing poems.

Just do what you can–it’s totally up to you to do this extra step for one another.

So, emails:
