Hi, students.
Here are the two links that I mentioned in class. The first is a video that will show you how to use footnotes in Word 2007 and 2003; the second is a blog entry that explains (with unfortunately poor capitalization) how to create a block quote. Both of these links are primarily for Word 2007, which I'm assuming the majority of you have. If not, simply Google "how to use block quotes in [insert your program here]" and you should be able to receive instruction that way. :-)
How to use Footnotes
How to Create Block Quotes (Inset Quotations)
I hope these resources help you in your essay journey. Happy writing!

American Lit: More Whitman
Hello class,
Greetings. Here are the two Walt Whitman poems for this week's homework. Remember to look for the symbols in "Lilacs" (you won't have to look too hard) and try to figure out what each symbolizes. This should help in understanding the poem.
Remember also that you should print both of these poems out to bring to class. I'll see you there!
"O Captain! My Captain!"
"When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom'd"
One more thing: don't forget to think about which poem by Whitman or Dickinson you would like to choose for your notecard poem report. It's coming up soon!

American Literature: Whitman and Dickinson
Welcome back, American Lit students!
Below are the links to the two Walt Whitman poems you've been assigned for this week. Remember that for "Song of Myself," you only need read the sections that were specifically assigned: 1, 6, 7, 15, 32, 52. I recommend copying and pasting only these sections into a Word Document so that you don't waste paper and ink printing out the whole poem. You may read the whole poem, but we won't be discussing other sections in class.
"The Wound-Dresser" is more straightforward, but I wouldn't read it while eating.

Remember to print these out and bring them to class on Tuesday. Class will revolve around the printouts you bring. Enjoy--
