Poetry forms

Students are working on the following assignment: Poetry Form/Pattern Group Assignment 20pts Your assignment is to examine a specific form of poetry. You must provide a clear explanation for the rest of the class including examples. You have to teach this. You must decide on your approach (handouts, PowerPoint, poster, etc.). You must also write an original poem in the form you are teaching. You must provide a poem for class discussion. Your group will lead the discussion of the poem. This includes asking questions that guide the class discussion. Be prepared with specific discussion questions. You are the expert on the poem, but you must teach it, not explain it. Your goal is to analyze the poem and how the form impacts the meaning of the poem. Your classmates will decide if you are effective. All students must participate in the discussion. It is your job to see to this. Forms: • English Sonnet • Italian Sonnet • Villanelle • Ballad • Ode Presentations will begin on MONDAY.
