CI-115 Poetry Out Loud
Students will develop a deep understanding of two seminal books of 20th century poetry and other key 20th century poems as they plan and execute small-group, end of semester reading performances. Students will write creative response poems to increase their understanding of the texts, and through cooperative decision making strategize effective ways to present their own poems and poems by Bishop or Frost. The class format will foster direct spoken engagement with matters of sound, rhythm, tone, and meaning. Final reading aloud performances will be recorded and added to the Suffolk University Poetry Center Archive.
Prerequisite
Restricted to students with less than 54 credits. Students with more than 54 credits needing to fulfill their CI requirement should seek approval from the Undergraduate Advising Office.
