Finish Poster
THEN - find a poem that you can, as a group, apply your poster material to
This is the first part of the poetry SUMMATIVE

Poetry Summative:

Choose a poet that you think has an interesting life or some “hook” that pulls you in. 

Give some bio info that would inform the reader to look for certain things in the poetry

Put this into some kind of presentation - your choice (multimedia=good)

Find THREE poems by that poet that are representative of something from that poet’s life - LINK these poems to the info from the life story (1/2 to 1 page)

Choose ONE poem to analyse according to your plan (from the poster)

Individually:

Write THREE poems that somehow tell me something about YOU in the same way.

How do I Get LEVEL FOUR$

deep analysis - how low can you go? higher order thinking - symbols, connection, associations and applying the poem to life or vice versa
choice of poet is smart - some poets are cooler than others (ie some had weird lives)
how much info do you SHOW and how much research do you DO
PRESENTATION - what kind of communication skills do you use?
CREATIVITY and using the reverse engineering on your own poems - looking at, and study, pro poems should upgrade your own poems (should)
