“Assignment Instructions” Lyrics by Mr. O’Donohue

0

The purpose of Poetry Genius is to provide annotations (or to comment on existing annotations) for poems, song lyrics, and other texts that we will be reading in this class.

Ideally, your annotations should do one of the following things (please click on any orange highlighted text for a fuller explanation):
1. Define words, names, places, etc. that would likely be unfamiliar to the majority of readers.
2. Clarify passages that are unclear to you.
3. Comment upon passages that seem thematically significant.

If your annotations are not doing any of the things above then they will likely get deleted from the site, which means they will not be helping you earn credit for the course.


Now, a few tips for creating good annotations:
1. Use appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
2. The passages that you don’t understand are the ones that you really need to annotate.
3. Use proper names and specific nouns rather than pronouns when annotating a text.
4. Look for metaphors, similes and other forms of figurative language.
5. Include links to sources that provide you with factual material about the text you are annotating.
6. Include pictures or video.


And, lastly, for those of you who are interested, a few points concerning your professor's rationale for using a software program that you might initially find confusing and difficult:
1. Learning how to navigate an unfamiliar website exercises your critical thinking skills.
2. Rap Genius asks you to write in a way that takes advantage of all the affordances of Web 2.0 technology, thereby enhancing your media literacy.
3. The public nature of the website allows you to see the work that your peers are doing in the class, to comment on their work, to receive feedback, and, thus, to learn from each other.
4. The ability to write good annotations requires you to develop skills that will translate directly into writing better research papers.

Credit goes to Professor Kevin Trumpeter of Allen University (Prof_trump) for coming up with these excellent guidelines.
