| Poetry and Form: An Introduction That Won't and Will Make You Want to Run the Other Way (.doc) |
Student Directions
|
Students will compose a poem on the computer, post the poem to a class website, read other students' poems on the class website, and then re-write their own poem using a form different from the original one, aided by access to some basic definitions of forms such as couplet, tercet, quatrain, and so on. |
