1. Google doc reviews of the following to include title, author, century/era, major characters, plot synopsis, and a couple of themes: Romeo and Juliet, Lord of the Flies, Oliver Twist, Macbeth, Pride and Prejudice, Kindred, The Great Gatsby, As I Lay Dying, 1 Henry IV, Oedipus the King, Wit, Maus, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and Persuasion (I am struck not by the length of that list but at least by its breadth and quality)
2. Choose a twentieth-century or contemporary poet we have not yet studied (not necessarily English-speaking). Prepare a brief presentation outlining the poet's biography, major themes, and identifying characteristics of his/her work. Include a sample poem and 5 multiple-choice questions for discussion.
