Aim: How can our knowledge and experience with poetry and poetic techniques ensure the successful creation of our Poem Anthology project?
Before starting the do now, we had a class discussion on the aim. We were asked what the word anthology meant and the meaning of anthology if you were wondering is a published collection of poems or other pieces of writing. Then we started on the do now.
Do now: Class Discussion - How do you usually feel when you learn you are being assigned a new project? Why?
For the do now, our class mostly agreed that learning that we are being assigned a new project can make us feel worried and scared because we don’t really know if it's gonna be hard and we don’t know if we are actually prepared to do the project that is assigned.
Notes:
After the do now we went to the Poem Anthology Project Assignment slide to talk about the actual project we are being assigned on. This slide included what our project was going to be on and what must be included in the project. Our Poem Anthology project is to create a poetry anthology with 4 original poems with at least one poem structured like an extended metaphor.
Our anthology poem MUST INCLUDE:
A creative cover, which clearly identifies your First and Last Name, period, TEAM NAME and Cycle Letter.
A Table of contents, clearly identifying each poem type [(1) free verse, (2) extended metaphor, (3) sonnet, and (4) an additional poem structure of your choosing] the Title, and the page number where it can be found.
An introduction to the collection, explaining the basis for your poem choices.
One poem must be your extended metaphor, and must be annotated. Highlight some of your poetic choices just like we did in class, and explain the reason behind them.
All 4 original poems should include complementary visuals/images/drawings.
Your last page must include a reflection that explains the experience of creating poetry along with a discussion of the style, language choices, and thematic intent of your poems at the conclusion of your anthology.
After going over this slide, our teacher gave us 2 different sample projects to show us what our project is supposed to look like and basically gave us a basic understanding of the different requirements that our poems must include.
After looking at the sample projects, we then went onto the Poem Anthology Project Assignment-Cont’d slide and this slide basically explains when our project is due and where to submit our project. We were also given an enrichment video to watch if we are stuck on poetry devices.
After we finished the Poem Anthology Project Assignment-Cont’d slide, we went to look at the rubric that is being used to grade our poems. (Shown below)
