Poetry 180 Project

Mr. Kennedy
AP English

Poetry 180
Assignment
You have each been assigned a poem from the list found at http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/

The goal of this exercise is to broaden our understanding and familiarity with poetry.

Your first task is to analyze your assigned poem and post it to the blog under the Poetry 180 posting. You need to explain the poetic devices employed. Point out the elements like similes, metaphors, rhymes schemes, meter, voice, tone and imagery used. Use these things to explain how they add to the impact of the poem. Explain how these devices help make the poem relevant. Please insure that you include your name with your posting.

The person responsible for poem 1 needs to present by Monday, October 12. Poem 2 by the 13th, 3 by the 14th and so on each day until the 29th presents on Tuesday, November 10th.
You need to browse through the poetry your classmates are analyzing and you need to comment on at least one posting. Again insure your name is included with this posting.

Your postings will be to the comment section of this blog.

While this is a blog it is important to behave properly and appropriately in interacting with one another.

Your analysis is worth 35 points and your comment is worth 15 points for a total of 50 for the assignment.
