Animated Poem Checklist

Writing a Commentary for a poem is hard, but that is why we are practicing. Whenever you have a writing assignment in class - don't waste time! Get to writing. I can only help you with your writing and ideas if you actually write something, so the more you write, the more I can help --- AND nothing you write is ever a waste of time.

The commentary is only one part of the animated poem checklist. Here are the rest of the things that are due on May 25th:

___ Copy of the 15-20 line Poem

___ List of Students in the Group with Responsibilities listed next to each student
– editing, storyboard, oral presentation (reciting the poem, presenting analysis of the video, presenting analysis of the language of the poem, etc.)

___ Storyboard

___ Written Commentary – analysis of the poem (structure, metaphor, simile, personification, meter, alliteration, rhyme, mood/tone, diction, etc…and WHY they are used) – rough draft and final draft

___ Animated Poetry Video (uploaded to facebook for presenting purposes)
- presentation includes oral defense of choices made in the video and oral commentary
