			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is great poetry? That is the question you will answer <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/benmcleod/61028219/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/26/61028219_b8f29ebf37_m.jpg" align="right" height="160" width="240" /></a>during our poetry unit, and I think the perfect way to begin the unit is to make you attempt to answer the question now, before we&#8217;ve actually discussed poetry at all. What, today, is your opinion? What is great poetry?</p>
<p>Figuring that you might not have <em>too </em>much to say in response, consider also what you think you will need to do to make yourself better able to answer the question. What should we do in the next couple weeks to enable you to answer the question, &#8220;What is great poetry?&#8221;</p>
<p>Please <strong>write at least 100 words</strong> in your blog to respond to this question, and then read and <strong>reply to at least two classmates&#8217; answers</strong> (that means write comments). Also, please remember to put in your article <strong>a link back to this article</strong> on the class blog.</p>
