Grade 12s —
Here is a fun (really!) assignment for you all to do during our poetry unit. This will be due after Spring Break. We will be working on it on and off while we do other things.
Click here for the detailed document.
(short version below)
You’ll choose one (published) poem for each year of high school – Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. A poem that captures something important about that year for you. It can be serious or lighthearted or a mix of both.
Use websites like:
to find your poems. All these websites allow you to look at themes.
You can also include up to 2 spoken word poems, if you’d like. (Try the Button Poetry channel on Youtube).
You’ll also create something to go alongside THREE of the poems, to respond to it and engage with the ideas. You can do some combination of:
- A poem of your own, on a similar theme
- A very short memoir, on a similar theme
- A piece of visual art, music, dance
Criteria to follow….
