More Poetic Forms -- Your choice!

2/3/2016

1 Comment

 

We'll finish our poetry unit up by exploring some other poetic forms. Each student will pick one of the forms described HERE  to compose a poem.  (More info on forms can be found HERE .) Read through some of the descriptions and samples and find a form you'd like to try.

PART ONE: 
Do the following:
  • pick a poetic form; learn its construction; read samples
  • compose a poem in the form
  • create a document that includes the following: the name and explanation of the form + your own original poem in that form
  • be prepared to explain the poetic form to your class

[Note: you can pick any form EXCEPT for "Acrostic."]

PART TWO: 
Come up with your own form!
  • devise the rules, restrictions, and grammar for your own form of poetry
  • come up with a name for it
  • write one of your own

PARTS 1 + 2 are both due on WEDNESDAY, 2/10. Typed, neatly presented. (Make sure to include explanations.)
