Research Components:

Dictionary
Investigate and include definitions of words in a poem by looking them up in a dictionary, such as Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary or the American Heritage Dictionary. The Oxford English Dictionary will help you with the etymology of a word: The history of a linguistic form (as a word) shown by tracing its development since its earliest recorded occurrence in the language where it is found (Etymology). All dictionaries are located on the second floor of the library in the reference section. You may NOT use pocket dictionaries or Dictionary.com as they are not extensive enough for this assignment. If you choose to use inappropriate resources, your grade will be reduced. You must include at least THREE definitions from the dictionary. Tip: Look up words you know as well.

Biography
Locate a biography of the author and examine how this information enhances your explication of the poem. When was the poem written? What was the poet doing at this time in his or her life? What are the cultural or historical implications of the time period? How does the biography provide additional insight into why and how the poem was written regarding the poets style? Choose a full-length critical biography from one of the literature-based databases, such as Literature Resource Center, MagillOn Literature Plus, or Artemis. If you choose to use inappropriate resources, your grade will be reduced. You must include at least TWO quotations from the poets biography. Tip: Read multiple biographies as each one will have different information.

3. Academic article

Choose an academic article related to your poem in order to enhance your analysis. For example, you could locate an article from the Poetry for Students series in the Literature Resource Center database. The article must come from the library\’s databases. See above.
