Portfolio

I will be collecting your portfolio on Dec. 2.

In it, you should have the following:

Choose 5-7 of your finely crafted poems. If you have more than 5-7 poems, you will have to select a few to NOT include in your portfolio. Each poem should include evidence of previous drafts.

Remember, your crafted poems should show growth and understanding of poetic techniques taught in class. Review the blog for help.

We covered:
Diction, tone, word choice, meter, rhythm, line length, white space, stanza form, sound imagery, euphony, cacophony, alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, personification, figurative language, metaphor, simile, imagery, extended metaphor, allusion, symbol, etc.

Please complete the 101 Great American Poems book.
