Gather in your group. Pick one member to be a recorder who will take notes for the group. Each member should in turn give one word that comes to mind. After going through the group with each person submitting one word for three times, stop and then list a setting or event that can be defined. For example: azure, cobalt, dandelion, rain shower, etc. then setting/event: a birthday party, walking on the beach, playing with a tire swing, etc.
After getting some ideas on the paper, allow each poet to select a few words and/or event from the list (don't discuss the words, just pick them and write them on your own paper/journal). Use these words to create a poem in 30 minutes. At the end of this time, come back together and share your DRAFT.
Period 8, please complete the following:
Types of Political Poems
1. The Revolutionary Poem
•Poems which advocate (support) an overthrow of a government or a culture
2. The Patriotic Poem
•Unlike the revolutionary poem, the patriotic poem supports or advocates an aspect of a government or a culture. Reflects an attitude that recalls fundamental principles of a government or culture.
•You may find a lot of this kind of poetry written by minorities (they are supporting a particular culture). Women’s lib poetry; black, Asian, latino, etc. poetry; gay poetry, etc. Any poem celebrating a culture would fall into this category.
3. The Protest Poem
•A poem of criticism that challenges basic concepts of important human issues (censorship, freedom, democracy, pursuit of happiness, etc.)
4. The Universal Political Poem
•Everything else.
Pick one of the types of political poem types. Write a political poem draft by the end of class today.
