This assignment is for All English Language Arts Students!
The Poetry Collection Assignment (aka Poetry Portfolio) requires the student to read a variety of poems by a range of authors. During the first few weeks of school, students ought to read as many poetic texts as they can get their hands on -- a wide selection of anthologies have been placed in the Reading Corner of Mr. Ivany's classroom; text books for courses are a great resource; the library has many texts available; and the internet is always available as well. Out of all of the poems s/he has read, the student is required to select 10 poems which s/he will copy and insert into the portfolio. Accompanying each selected poem, the student must:
cite the source from which the poem was taken
identify the type of poetry that the poem fits into and reasons why (eg. If it is a Haiku, why is it one?)
include a brief description of why s/he decided to include it in his/her poetry portfolio.
Each student will be required to select one of his/her top ten favourite poems and
create a representation based on the text
present the poem and the representation to the rest of the class.
