POET-POURRI!
Create Your Anthology Page!

Now that you have created your poems, you are ready to put together your own page for your class's Poet-Pourri Anthology!

You will need to consider the design of your page in order to make the page visually appealing to your audience --- the other class members.

Elements that must be included on your anthology page:

  • The poet's name in a prominent place.
  • The original poem (or the stanzas) by your author that you chose to imitate.
  • Your imitation of that poem.
  • Your biographical poem about your author.
  • A brief constructed response in which you explain what poetic devices and techniques you used in your biographical poem.
  • Your name as the author of the poems on that page.
  • At least one graphic, photograph, or drawing to represent your author or one of the themes of your poems.
  • A layout for the page that is attractive and visually appealing. Click on this link for a sample layout.

 

Use this checklist as you prepare your final copy for your anthology page.
