Assignment #6: Due November 3, 2010



Opinion is a flitting thing,
But truth outlasts the Sun--
If we cannot own them both--
Possess the oldest one.



Your Task

Above is a poem by Emily Dickenson. She was a very prolific writer, as evidenced by the title (this is poem # 1455). Your assignment is to respond to this poem. You can respond in any way you wish (rap, poem, journal response, video, slideshow, etc.) All I ask is that you include an explanation of what this poem means to you and how you think it could or should be applied to our society.

I have completed my instrument study.
But I'm not understanding what your asking us
to do for this assignment.

Ms. Crosbie said...

Hi, Hannah.

What I'm asking you to do is read the poem above and then to respond to it. To tell me what you think it means or what it's trying to say. Figure out the message, how it applies to your life and our society in general. Then, write a response in whatever medium you choose (you may choose to do a journal entry, or record a speech, or write a song, etc.).

Does this help clarify?
