“Poetry Cafe”
Let’s go back in
time when things were groovy and beatniks were cool... For this beret-wearing, finger-snapping
activity you will need to do the following.
Dig it?
*Choose a poet and read several of her or his poems.
* Prepare an oral presentation.
1. Memorize one poem of at least 10 lines or two
if shorter to present to the
class.
2. Briefly tell why you chose this poem(s) and
discuss what you like
about it. You can talk about the poem’s
meaning, its rhythm and rhyme, its imagery, and its poetic language. Discuss at least 2 of these elements using
examples from the poem for support.
* Complete a worksheet that will address different aspects of your
poem(s).
Neatness and accuracy count!
*The due date for this event is Friday, December 7.
So wear black and be
there or be square. Cool, Daddy-o...
