Has your impression of poetry changed since we began this unit? Why or why not?

Do you find there is a strong similarity between poetry and music?
Has this unit encouraged you to learn more about the role music and/or poetry has played in American history?

As always with you guys, I like what I am seeing. I will be sending each group a comment on their introductory paragraph through Google Apps. Which reminds me–please be sure to include me in your sharing of the document.
Some have asked if they can submit their second paragraphs already. Yes, you may do so as a comment to this post–but be certain you are keeping in mind the order of topics mentioned in your essay map–elements of the body paragraphs must follow in order and number. Also, remember that you may want to write more than one body paragraph on an element. While the minimum requirement for the overall paper is five paragraphs, including additional body paragraphs is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED.
