Poetry Project
Directions: This project will take the form of a collection of your poetry, as well as including some other elements. You will be required to write a minimum of ten original poems on various subjects, some of your choosing, others that will be guided. You will also need to include a copy of your favorite poem, or a poem by your favorite poet, and give an explanation of that poet's work in your project.
Here are the requirements:
- Write a minimum of 10 poems, each in a different style. (You may use the list/web resource listed here to get started.) Each poem must have a title, or may be called "untitled.”
- Five of these poems will be self-guided, and five will be the instructor-driven poems you just made.
- You must include a copy of a poem that is not by you, but one that you enjoy, and write a brief explanation of the poem to be included in the final project.
- Each of the poems must be put through the entire writing process, and you must keep your pre-write, rough draft, revising, and editing for each piece, to be turned in separately from the final project.
- The final project must be organized into a collection of your works. This can be in the form of a booklet, newsletter, pamphlet, etc, and must include a title, table of contents listing each piece, and a by-line.
You can visit Shadow Poetry.com for a comprehensive list of poem types to give you ideas for your self-directed poems.
