HONORS INTRODUCTION TO POETRY 4

Catalog description

The honors section offers rigorous preparation in discussion and analysis of poetic forms, techniques, meanings, and history of poetry for students intending to transfer to a four-year college or university. Because poetry, since the mid-nineteenth century, has turned internationally toward a more communicative and social form of literary expression, emphasis relies on modern examples in English and translation to develop the student's ability to read, understand, and evaluate a poem in the context of the modern world. Honors students have the opportunity to engage in deeper critical analysis and evaluation of poetry and its social, historical, and literary contexts, through the application of higher level, student-generated, student-centered discussion and creative assessments.
