Senior Final Assignment

Edwidge Danticat graduating from Barnard in 1990
Seniors will have two options for their Senior Final Assessment. Choose one of the following:

- Imagine that you have been invited to read a poem to the Class of 2018 during graduation. As experts in poetry, you will choose one of these forms to write your poem in: sonnet, villanelle, sestina. It may be an ode, an elegy, or a lyric poem. This is the corresponding rubric.


Keep in mind your performance will be graded rather than your actual poem, so you'll want to practice your performance.


- Discuss the poem "Graduation" by Dorothea Tanning. Here is the rubric



These assessments will be conducted in class, during your Final Exam, whenever scheduled. This will also be our send-off for your, so feel free to bring in snacks and refreshments.
