    The key takeaways are that students must compile a book of poetry that includes their favorite poems written by other authors as well as their own poems, and they must analyze devices used in each poem and explain their personal connection to the poems.

    The requirements for the poetry book assignment are that it must contain at least 7 poems written by other authors, 7 original poems written by the student, analyses of literary devices for each poem, and reflections on word choice and poetic forms used.

    Each personal response must analyze one literary device used in the poem, explain how it impacts the meaning, and explain why the poem was chosen by connecting it to the student's own experience.

    7 + original poems written by you in at least 5 different forms:

    Personal Reflection

    For paragraph 1, you will reflect on one of the literary/poetic elements you
    used in your poems, just as you did with the poems that were not written by
    you . Again, be sure to give specific examples of whichever element you are
    describing. For paragraph 2, you will reflect on you word choice and how
    your specific diction helped to convey the message you wanted to get
    across. You should also identify any allusions in your poem, of which other
    readers may be unaware.

    Glossary of Terms and poetic forms

    You will include a glossary of the literary terms used to describe the various
    poetic elements being used in the works presented in your booklet. Be sure
    to include all the terms we covered in class, as well as any that may be
    important for your own selections. You will also need to include a description
    of all of the poetic forms used in your volume. Your descriptions should
    identify the name of the form and any specific structural elements, such as
    line length, rhythm pattern, rhyme scheme, etc., as well as examples from
    the poems in your collection. (They can come either from your own work or
    from the work by other authors you have selected.) Your forms index should
    also include a full description of your self-defined form.

    accompany the poems. For extra credit you may do one of the following:
