A.P. Workbook Assignment # 3

For our A.P. workbook assignment #3, we will be analyzing Maxine Kumin's, "The Sound of Night," on page 115.  After reading/annotating the poem, as you would on the day of the exam, read through the 8 questions posed under "Using Skills to Understand the Poem" on page 116.  You are to respond to any 2 of the 8 questions.  Unless you are the first to respond, refer to (quote) an observation or insight made by one of your classmates that strikes you as interesting or controversial. Your response is to be a minimum of 250 words in total.  As always, this is a formal written assignment; apply the conventions of standard written English. 

Blog is to be posted before class on Friday, 12/9/11.
