ind 6 different poems, each of which illustrates
a different literary device listed below.
The student will write a brief, but insightful analytical paragraph that
includes an explanation of how the poetic device contributes to the author’s
purpose. The student will also create an original picture (digital or 35mm)
that illustrates some meaningful aspect of the poem. This effort will result in
6 poems, 6 pictures, and 6 analyses.
The final project will be in the form of a Power Point presentation that
will consist of13 slides. For each poem
that the student studies there will be one slide with the actual text of the
poem. On that slide, the poetic device will
be hyperlinked to another slide that will include the picture and the analysis. No effects allowed.
