AVP+English

=**Welcome to the Wiki for AVP English! You will use this space for your poetry projects. **= = = =**Project Information: **=

**Go online and determine what poet you'd like to study. The link on the left may provide you with some ideas. **
===**Once you choose your poet, you must add it to the bottom of this page (list your name(s) and the poet you chose). For your project, you may work alone or with a partner. When you email me, I will list that poet on this page with your name(s), meaning that no other individual or pair may choose the same poet. **=== ===**Read through the rest of the wiki to find out what your expectations are and how you will complete this. You will demonstrate your knowledge of your poet and his or her writing by gathering data (from textbooks, websites, and online databases) and creating an informative & creative webpage on our Poetry Wiki. Your project will include different types of information & products as explained below. **=== = = ====**Your project should: 1) show what you know about your poet and their poetry, 2) have a layout that is well ordered for others to be able to find your information & pictures, 3) Provide a detailed analysis of one poem, which should be longer than ten lines. The poem and your analysis should be posted on your page. All words need to be your own! Do NOT cut and paste anything from the Internet. **====

**The required parts of your wiki page are as follows: **
===**Part 1: Informational presentation * Page title (that looks like a title) & creators' name(s) (NO last names.) * Pictures - minimum (3-5) with captions * List of basic facts- Create a list with a minimum of 10 important facts about your poet * Poem by your author (minimum of ten lines) * Video (see below) * Works Cited – You must use at least 2 sources per person. (At least one must be a print source - NOT an Internet source.) **===

===**Part 2: Creative presentation: Create a short interpretational movie about a poem written by your poet * Choose a poem as a group that you like and create a visual interpretation of it with each person reading certain sections and having pictures which you feel explain or go with the poem. **===

===**Video Requirements: * Title & author(s) (no last names) * Visually interprets of one of your poet's poems. *Rough draft/"story map" which lays out the movie- pictures & narration (one per poet) *Pictures/maps/graphs (can NOT be copyrighted!) *Video is 1-3 minutes in length; LOW background music, narration, title & credits. **===
