As mentioned on the main project page, students will not only be learning about various forms of poetry, but they will be putting pen to paper in order to plan and draft a number of original poems.
Over the course of the project, students can create a "Poetry Portfolio." This portfolio will contain all of their work from this project. This includes:
As the teacher or parent, you will be able to determine exactly what this portfolio looks like, based on the ages and needs of your students. You will need to keep the following in mind:
Typically our TTC Collaboration Projects have an "end date." At this point in time, I feel it's important for us to keep the project open and ongoing. With that being said, you will need to decide how often you would like your student(s) to formally publish their work. This could be once a week, one poem per "type" of poem, or just when they have a poem they are proud of. Whatever publishing schedule you choose to follow, just remind students that "published" poems should be ready to be shared with the world. You may choose from a variety of upload options: web page, wiki, Voice Thread, SlideShare, Smilebox, etc. Directions will be provided for uploading. Once students have their poems published to the Internet, our participating students/classes will have the opportunity to comment on one another's work.
You will find two resources for each form of poetry. Visit the "Poetry Printables" page to access these resources.
