Poetry Project Directions



April Poetry Project

Students will keep a journal of poems.
Each week you will need to find a previously published poem and copy it into your journal.  (Either by hand or print it and paste it into your journal).  You must then write a poem of your own using the same structure and subject matter.

At the end of the month you'll need to turn in four found poems and four original poems.  The project due date is May 3.

·       Total number of poems:  4 found and 4 of your own = 8 poems
·       Each poem must be a different type.  (For example, one free verse, one haiku, one limerick, etc.)
·       Minimum number of lines per poem:  8 lines per poem (unless you find a Haiku and/or a Limerick)

Choose one of YOUR POEMS to publish in a class anthology.  This poem needs to be submitted by May 2.
