This assignment will be completed based off an assignment I did last week I’ve attached links of my work from the assignment THE LAST THREE LINKS IS THE ASSIGNMENT I DID . There is a poem I did the assignment based off of you will need to read both the assignment that I completed and the poem to complete this assignment!  THE SECOND LINK IS THE POEM. The first link is how your work should look.         2.4 Dropbox: Literary Analysis Practice Template  

Grading Criteria 

• Aside from any quoted lines from the poem, your submission must be in your own words, must demonstrate your ability to correctly use and apply the module concepts, and must accurately reflect the content of assignment materials.
• This assignment does not have a research component and you may not use any outside sources. All your evidence must come strictly from the text of the poem (form/content). You can write a reasonable and convincing analysis using the text of the poem on its own. Any use of outside sources will result in an automatic zero on the assignment.
• Follow the template and do not add any extra material (e.g., introduction, conclusion, overly florid vocabulary, unnecessary asides, etc.) in your submissions.
• Submissions must demonstrate evidence of basic proofreading. Submission may include some errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and mechanics, but the errors should not distract from your main ideas and discussions.
• Submission must follow the template and be double spaced.
• The lines you quoted from the poem must be in quotation marks.

️Reminder: It's important to note that the instructions do not say, "find what others have said about the poem and repeat those ideas in your paper." There's specific set of analytic tasks outlined in the instructions for you to follow and that demonstrate you can apply what you've learned about interpretive analysis so far. 

Step  Brainstorm and write your thesis

1. Gather your annotations and responses to assignment 2.3. Re-read the poem, your notes, and feedback you were provided.
2. Spend some time brainstorming your thesis statement for your interpretive analysis. If you're unfamiliar with brainstorming, I recommend the "3 perspectives," "freewriting," and "clustering/mapping/webbing." Build on what you've already written in your annotations and notes.
3. At the end of the the brainstorming process, draft an interpretive thesis statement that captures what you think the poem is about. Keep in mine that the thesis statement may need to be revised once you've completed writing your supporting analysis. Don't be afraid to let your ideas develop as you write.
4. Your thesis statement may only make one claim. Do not include information about how you will will support your interpretation in your thesis All poets use figurative language and metaphors; it's unnecessary to mention these things in the thesis.

Example of an acceptable thesis statement: 

• “Wild Geese” is about the fragile relationship between human dignity and human frailty.
• “Wild Geese” is about life (too vague)
• “Wild Geese” is about life, meaning, and acceptance (too vague and too many ideas)
• As generated by ChatGPT: "In "Wild Geese," Mary Oliver uses the imagery of nature and the repetition of a reassuring tone to explore the themes of self-acceptance and the interconnectedness of all life, offering a message of hope and belonging to those who feel burdened by guilt or loneliness." (not written by a human and much too broad and wordy).

Step Write and revise supporting analysis for interpretive thesis statement from Step   

Write the supporting analysis for your interpretation. You may only use form and content evidence from the text of the poem to support of your thesis statement. Your supporting analysis must…

1. be organized into at least 2 paragraphs that follow the “claim, evidence, explanation” format explained in the Analysis and Synthesis reading.
2. include at least 4 pieces of relevant textual (form/content) evidence from the poem; this evidence must be followed by explanations of how it supports your thesis statement.
   • In your analysis, refer to the "speaker" or the "narrator" of the poem and not to the author.Reminder: most poems are NOT autobiographical. In order to argue a poem was autobiographical, we would need relevant contextual evidence to support that claim. This assignment prohibits the use of contextual evidence. You can write a convincing analysis using the text of the poem on its own.

Once you've written your supporting paragraphs, spend a little time revising and proofreading your work. 

• Be sure the thesis matches what you've argued in the paragraphs. If you need to revise the thesis, do so before submitting your work.
• Make sure the evidence actively supports your thesis and includes enough discussion/explanation from you.
• Do your points flow and make sense together?

Proofread for formatting, spelling, punctuation mistakes and to be sure your writing is clear.  

Step Answer reflection questions

Answer all the following reflection questions in the space provided on the interpretation practice template. Save as you go along. 

1. Which of the readings and other resources provided in the module did you find the most useful?
2. What was the most difficult thing about completing the assignment?
3. How do you think your analytic and critical thinking skills have improved after completing the assignment?
