Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

I call it "modeling." In a message dated 10/9/2007 6:40:47 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, bobo54t@hotmail.com writes: Friends, I have enjoyed the discussion on Atwell letters, etc. Thanks. I have a new question for you. Is there some literary term for asking students to write poem similar to another poem, including similes and metaphors in the same positions, etc? I just asked my students to write a poem similar to the one we read in class. I am just wondering if there is another term besides "similar" that I can use. One student wrote a really nice version, and I would like to try this again, but just wondered about a term for it. Thanks.
