Project methodology:
How should we work in a group?
Metaphysical and Cavalier Poetry
To begin with…
The quality of the documents!!!
• Girls, some of the documents you are bringing
are of very poor , simple substandard quality.
• Some of you have started the project on your
own. Come ready to begin from scratch.
• Also, if your document quality is substandard,
search again and bring something better!!!
What standard of quality should I
have for the documents I bring to
my group?
• As the instructions say, EACH student bring one
complete, sophisticated document on Cavalier
poetry and another complete sophisticated
document on Metaphysical poetry.
• Total for each student: 2
• Total for each group: 6
Remember!
• You are going to attach your highlighted docs
to your final work as proof of your classwork,
as well as any draft.
• The more classwork evidence there is, the
better.
• It is draft work not final work. Don’t worry
about imperfections. It’s part of the fun.
AT THE END
• The final project must have attached the SIX
highlighted, annotated, «scribbled» documents,
aside from any rough drafts you prepared IN
CLASS, signed by the teacher.
• Each document must have the OWNER´S name.
• Ex: Juanita´s Metaphysical document.
Juanita´s Cavalier document.
Each document must be identified with its www
source too.
What do we mean by «complete
document»?
• Any document on a literary movement will
contain the characteristics, the representative
poets and their representative works.
• In addition, it may contain the origins and
background, it may compare it to other
movements to help the reader appreciate the
movement, it may quote (say) what other
experts say and it may mention points that
experts disagree on.
• «Complete» also means that we are not going
to summarize. Use the ink that you have to.
• You may unite documents to make one
complete one if you do not find this in itself.
Make sure each section is of complete, good
quality.
• Make sure you write the source for each
section.
What do we mean by «sophisticated
document»?
• We mean that we are not going to bring a
short, simple document and that we are not
going to bring the easiest to read, a simplified
summary of a series of documents .
• We are not going to bring documents that are
all right for a First Secondary or Third
Secondary student. We have to reach higher.

2. Yes, but we’re
getting
somewhere…
1. Not very
compfortable…
conceit
• A figure of speech that is intellectually
challenging.
• I would add that the author’s knowledge,
ingeniousness and creativity or originality are
displayed in a conceit
BTW, for 4B
• Dr. Fischman´s answer to your career
questions are in Publico 44, in a PDF
document for you to check.
• Pls write a thank you note from the class for
him.
• It was a happy coincidence.
About the authors
• It SAYS a «minimum of 5 authors».
• But do not cut out important authors. Yours is
a COMPLETE document. You can have even
ten authors.
• Write dates (birth and death) and one or two
sentences abt each author showing why he is
outstanding.
• Follow each author with the TITLES of his main
works.
About the poem you choose to analyze
• After reading all about a movement, select a
REPRESENTATIVE poem.
• Make a glossary for it.
ANALYSIS
• Find examples from your poem for the
movement´s characteristics (Metaphysical or
Cavalier).
• Use a chart similar to Petrarch´s chart to show
your information.
• If necessary, give a brief explanation for your
choice of example.

Self-evident (obvious)
Some examples may involve the complete poem. For
example, an idea that is developed throughout the
whole poem.
ILLUSTRATIONS
• You may want to print the same poem two times.
• The second time, you can separate the lines more
so there is space for your illlustrations.
• What should you illustrate?
– Any single or global image that appeals to your
imagination through your senses.
– A symbolic illustration for more abstract language, if
possible.
– Clarify what you are illustration with words or with an
arrow connected to a phrase in the poem.
NOT BRINGING YOUR WORK TO CLASS
• Have you observed that even though it is the
second or third session of group work, some
girls have still not brought their own
documents?
• The evaluation chart says how many points
these students are losing as INDIVIDUALS.
• Be careful!! Documents that are not signed by
the teacher are not EVIDENCE of CLASSWORK.
What does MLA mean?
• It means MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION.
• This association’s proposition of formats for
papers and references and citations has
become generalized for papers related to the
humanities.
• There is also the APA format: AMERICAN
PSYCHOLOGY ASSOCIATION which is of
generalized use. This format is even more
widespread.
