POETRY ANTHOLOGY
We’ve written a lot of poems during this unit, and now it is time to put them into final form. Your poetry anthology will be a collection of your best poetry. Please read the following directions carefully. There are many items to collect and put into your final PPT .
Poetry Anthology Format-
☆ Collect and reread all the poetry you have written in your notebook.
☆ Your poems should typed in your poetry anthology.
☆ Your poetry should be presented as professionally as possible and be virtually free of irregularities in grammar and spelling.
☆ Your anthology’s second page should include a table of contents to guide your reader through your collection. Hyperlink your table of contents.
☆ Make sure to put a title above all of your poems and identify the type.
☆ On your last page, please finish the following sentence: “I know I am a poet because...”
☆ Also on your last page, quote two famous poets. Find stanzas or lines that you admire, find silly or profound, and include them in your anthology. Set them up as follows: Heading—“A Poet Once Said…” and then using quotation marks, quote at least two poets. Make sure to accurately include their full names.
☆ Find two published poems you admire and include them at the end of your anthology. Be able to explain why you chose the poems that you did. Mr. Reed can provide you with various types of poems to look through as needed.
☆ All of this should be neatly housed in a PPT of fine quality. Please design a quality cover and title your booklet “Poetry Anthology,” and then include your name. (For example, Poetry Anthology by Sylvester McBean)
☆ This entire collection should be an example of your best work and will be assessed with that in mind. Neatness, quality of selection, and organization all matter!
☆ You need to meet each checkpoint and consistently and truthfully communicate with Mr. Reed regarding your progress or needs for this project.
