Group Work!—Get your colors! You will now all be assigned into groups and get different poets; although some groups may have same poets, each group will have different poems. In your group, read the poem aloud amongst yourselves and annotate. Then, each group with be making a poem brochure.
The Poem Brochure Start by tri-folding the large sheet of paper your group gets. The front is your title page—include the title of your poem, the author, and your group members’ names. Make it visually appealing! The inside flaps can be in any order you prefer, but they need to cover (and include examples of): 1. Defined vocabulary terms (at least 5) 2. Poem meaning/summary 3. Romantic characteristics 4. Figurative language in the poem/Poetic devices used 5. Rhyme scheme/ rhythm 6. What your group took away from the poet’s biography/notes/life and its relation to this piece they have written
The Brochures Should Be: Colored Decorated Visually appealing NEAT PRESENTED (Each group member should speak and have a role in both the creation of the brochure and the presentation of them.)
Each Group Turns in: A completed brochure Each person’s annotated poem Each person’s survey
Ready, set, GO! Get working!
