What would you want to read on this page if you were opening this project? o Things to include: A description of the process of analyzing poetry this year, what your initial reactions to poetry were, a guiding principal or idea that helped you find, write, or analyze the poems that you did, what you think of when you think of poetry, etc. o Length Requirements: The preface must be at least one page typed and double spaced and can be in the form of a letter to the reader (block format) or a more standard essay format.</p><p>Poetry Project: Cover and Editor’s Preface Tomorrow we will be compiling our poetry work that we have completed this year into a final poetry portfolio.
