Poetry Work Time

Starter 15
  1. What experience and perspective do you want your poem to give the reader?  What do you want them to think?  What do you want them to feel?
  2. What poetic device (that you're not currently using) would help to develop the experience and perspective you want to communicate?  Why do you think so?
Work Time
  1. Revise poem
  2. Conference with Lori as needed
  3. Process Journal 2- DUE AT THE END OF CLASS!
  4. Study for poetry quiz on Friday (see details on Monday's post)

Process Journal #2
  1. Explain what your form inspiration is (you may have more than one).  Which of the poems we've seen or read is influencing the form your poem is taking?  What have you taken from them, and why?
  2. Revision: Rewrite a chunk of your poem (at least 8 lines) in a completely different form.  (Examples: If you are doing spoken word style, do a sonnet or a villanelle.  If your poem is formal, with strong meter/rhyme, try a style like e.e. cummings or spoken word.)  Go to THIS WEBSITE to find a list of different forms and styles you could play with!
  3. What's your next step in the process?  Why?  Do you need anything from me to complete this?  (Brainstorming, peer critique, research, writing, including poetic devices, working on the specific form, starting over, working with a teacher or tutor, learning after-effects, illustrating your poem…other?)
Homework
  1. For those reciting on Thursday, practice poem, finish and print written analysis
  2. STUDY FOR POETRY QUIZ
