Poetry Portfolio

Your poetry portfolio will be due Wednesday, 2/12.
You will have time Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to work on it in class.

To get the template, go to Shared with me> 9 English Common.
Make a copy of "Poetry Portfolio."  This copy will appear in your main My Drive folder.
Go to "My Drive" and move "Copy of Poetry Portfolio" into your English 9 folder.
Rename the file "[Yourname] Poetry Portfolio."
Now you're ready to go!

List of literary poets, bios, etc.

  • Remember, you need one poem for EACH form.
  • Also you need to address EACH of the following terms somewhere in your portfolio and analyze how the poetic device (term) contributes to the meaning of the text (poem).
  • You need to analyze a MINIMUM of two elements per poem.  If you find a poem that you really like that has a lot of elements you can check off, go for it!

What you need to analyze:

  • FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE: simile, hyperbole, personification, direct metaphor, implied metaphor, extended metaphor
  • SOUND DEVICES: alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, repetition, rhyme scheme
  • STRUCTURE: meter, line, stanza, imagery
