IN THE LAB: Write a poem draft as you would summarize or highlight just the important moments of a novel or longer, short story--using parts as Williams and Stafford do in much of their poetry. You have two options:
A. Create your own story. Choose a character, a setting, a theme, etc. Then consider your plot. What happens in the beginning (inciting incident, rising action, etc.) Start by summarizing the important parts of your story and breaking them into at least 3 parts (you may break your story into as many parts as you'd like, as long as you have a minimum of 3) Ex. i. Beginning, ii. middle, iii end or i. morning ii. afternoon iii. evening, or i. birth ii. childhood, iii. adolescence, iv. young adulthood, v. adulthood, vi. middle age, vii. old age, etc.
B. Borrow a well known story from someplace else. Use a fairy tale, or favorite short story, or film, or well-known classic novel, and take the most important scene(s) from the story and break the story into at least 3 parts. Basically, you are doing the same as A above, but using source material from outside of your own creation. Consider: Historical events, myths, legends, fairy tales, Bible stories, or any thing else your audience would be familiar with. Avoid choosing stories that only you have read. borrow ideas from English/Social Studies classes, etc.
Finally, please choose one of the poets on the sheet going around the room and begin researching and reading this poet. All poets can be found at this website: The Poetry Foundation.
