Poetry Project Requirements

Poetry Project

Individual: Select 10 poems from a minimum of 6 countries that all have the same theme. You can select from love, anguish, jealousy, isolation, ennui or select your own. If you write your own poem, it will count for 2 of the total poem count (and count as an American poem).

With a partner: Select 20 poems from a minimum of 11 countries that all have the same theme. You can select from the themes above.

For both:
Include a copy of the poem and your own critique as to why the poem matches your theme. Each critique should be a minimum of 8 sentences, which is very short. Cite the poem, quote when necessary and really make your case!

In a portfolio, include a copy of the poem, the author, the country of origin and your description. You can have this printed or posted to your blog.
