Magnetic Poetry; Poetry Chapbook

After a playful 15-20 minutes of magnetic poetry, please return to the lab and continue crafting your poetry.

Please read the article on revising. Use its advice to help you revise your own work.

IMPORTANT FIRST STEP:

  • By end of class Friday you should have looked through ALL the poems you have written this year (go back to the first semester for example), and revise your poem drafts. 
When you have completed that step, please move on to the next step:
  • Put all your NEWEST poem drafts into one Microsoft Word document file. 
  • From your DOCUMENT ELEMENTS tab (located next to HOME/LAYOUT on the menu bar) add a cover and page #'s as a header or footer. Insert a page break between poems. 
  • Please make sure you create a title for your "collection" and create a table of contents. The DOCUMENT ELEMENTS tab will help you do these things.
  • You will be adding a short reflective essay to this chapbook Friday. Reflect on your poetry.
HOMEWORK: Make final revisions to your poetry.
