Using the script you were supposed to have completed last class (see previous post), you may record your VOICE OVER using our microphones or your own equipment (similar to your film projects in Journalism), or...

Continue to use the time in the lab today gathering images/resources and inputting these into a MovieMaker project. Use the JPG's and GIFs that you find to assist your voice over in creating a short documentary about your chosen poet.

You will also want to choose 1 poem that this poet wrote and perform (read and record) that text as well. Your video project should include your voice over script (see previous post) AND a poem by the author that you perform.

If you did not complete your script, do that first. Realize that you are falling far behind and catch up!
  • Work on your poet film documentary today in class.
  • You may also use the time in the lab to write creatively. See previous poetry prompts, or the prompt above and try writing a draft of a poem.
During PERIOD 8: Please collect the poetry collection: Prufrock & Other Poems by T.S. Eliot. Then come to the classroom (238) and let's take a look at his poetry.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (read by the author) and some analysis of the poem by Shmoop.
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (read by Anthony Hopkins)
Portrait of a Lady
Preludes
Rhapsody on a Windy Night and a short animated film based on the poem (and a popular Broadway song).

Continue reading on your own. Find examples of the literary/poetic devices in the remaining poems.
If you do not finish today, please complete as homework.
 
HOMEWORK: Complete anything you haven't completed in class/lab today. Write poetry.
