Elements of Poetry s1

Poetry Project Marking Period 1 English AP 12

Go to Mr. Lopez’s AP Class webpage or Ms. Marshall’s AP Handouts webpage and download the Elements of Poetry document. Define each of the terms on the list as it relates to poetry. Then, create a poetry anthology which includes an example of each of the terms as indicated on the list.

Directions:  You DO need a separate poem for each type of poem listed on the Types of Poems list, BUT you DO NOT need a separate poem for each term on the Poetic Techniques list. If you can find multiple poetic techniques in one poem, that is ok. In fact, it’s encouraged. You DO NOT need examples for the items on the General Terms list.  The poems in your anthology MUST be numbered.  Each type of poem and poetic technique must be clearly labeled so that it is easy for me to identify. I need to know absolutely and beyond a doubt that you can identify each term in a poem.  You may use poems we read in class as part of your anthology. They may or may not be your best choices, so use good judgment.  The poems from the “Types of Poems” section should be your first ten poems and be presented in THE SAME ORDER as they are listed.  Put a page break between the definitions and the anthology.  DO NOT print double sided.  DO NOT staple ANYTHING before you come to class.

Entry Format:

Term (Poem # it can be found in): Definition

WARNING:  The internet is not always right!! Check MULTIPLE sources and synthesize the different definitions. You will be evaluated on accuracy.  Some of the terms will require explanations (puns, metonymy, implied metaphor, etc.). You will need to use your best judgment. If you think there is any chance that I will not see the device, include a BRIEF (no more than a sentence) explanation with the label.
