If you missed today, we'll get you to write the unit 3 test after school on Wednesday next week. Be sure to pick up a copy of the poetry project outline which is copied below:
Literature
12: Poetry Project
Due: Wed. May 22
Purpose: To become an expert on one
poet on the core list from an era of your choice.
- Analyze two poems (that are not on the core list) in detail by creating TICK charts and thematic statements for each poem.
- Write a compare / contrast composition between one of your poems and a poem from the core list. Length: 600 words.
- Create a creative response to your author: (illustrate poems, put poems to music, write your own poems on similar themes, create a glog or film on your author etc). Think of a unique and memorable way to pay tribute to your author. Marks awarded for insight. In other words, how does your creative response enhance a reader's appreciation and understanding of the works under review?
Due date:

Tomorrow: The Victorian Era 1830 to 1900! If you don't know anything about this era you can read the section in the text so Cheyenne and Evann's glog presentation will make more sense.
We will be reading Tennyson after the glog presentation. The poem is a dramatic monologue and it is called, "Ulysses".
