Portfolio of your Poetry

You are going to put together a collection of the poetry you have written for our poetry unit.  You will create a  book that shows off what you have written along with two new poems that you will write.  This is a "real world project" meaning it will not be done using internet applications.  You will need to hand in a hard copy of your portfolio.  Your portfolio must contain the following:

1. A cover page (3 points)
2.  one page for each of your concrete, free verse, cinquian, and diamante poems (8 points each).
3. two new poems written by you, each on one page ( 6 points each).
4. The first page after the cover page will be titled "What is poetry?" and will contain the definition of poetry that you chose (3 points).

You will also be awarded 10 points for creative effort.  This means you should consider adding:

• adding images to enhance the meaning of your poems.
• special details that make your portfolio unique and interesting.
• colour colour colour!!
• hand writing your poetry.

This needs to be handed in on Friday February 11th.
