Overview After completing your poetry handout, song assignment, and creating 10 different poetic works (a minimum of one from each genre we explored in class) choose the poem you feel is your strongest and polish it. Find or create an accompanying image that reflects the content, mood, or tone of the poem. If you would like this image projected onto the smartboard while you perform your poem (oooooh backdrop!), please email it to me no later that May 17 th at kljacobson@cbe.ab.ca. You will be performing your selected poem in front of the class in a beat poetry caf complete with snap-clapping and fine cuisine
Process 1. Ensure you have completed your entire note package and your song assignment 2. Ensure you have produced a rough poem for each genre we explored plus an additional two (thats 10 poems in total) 3. Determine which poem of yours you believe is most strong and edit and polish it until it is of high quality (aka it shows you have put careful thought, consideration, and effort into your work!) 4. Find or create an accompanying image pen, paint, mixed media, crayon whatever you like. Again, make sure your choice reflects careful thought and consideration. You may also choose to find an image online, but be prepared to justify your choice. 5. Rehearse your selected poem. 6. Perform!
Product Your final product should be a well-polished and thoughtful poem that you perform for the rest of the class, accompanied by a carefully chosen image.
