End of the Semester Guidelines!

Please make sure to visit the blog and complete everything from the checklist provided. Here are the last few assignments you are responsible for:
_____ Enter Sokol by the end of next week (1/18)
_____ Complete Chapbook by next Tuesday (1/15)
_____ Complete Portfolio by next Thursday (1/24)

Chapbook Clarification
·         Creative Title/Evident Theme is imperative
·         Table of Contents/Page Numbers necessary
·         Images should be used throughout (hand drawings are encouraged)
·         Your name should be clearly written/typed on the cover
·         Dedication/Foreword/Afterword are not required BUT would be nice additions!
·         5-10 Poems is a good number. Focus on quality!
Portfolio Clarification
·         You must have a balanced amount of work from each marking period.
·         Choose your best/favorite pieces remembering that you are trying to show your growth over the course of the semester.
·         Polish each piece and make them as perfect as you can. Remember: You may have learned something new that you didn’t know at the beginning of the year. Apply those skills!
·         Reflection- You need to write a two page reflection about the semester, the poetry writing process, and your progress:
·         Which poem do you think is your best poem?  Which poem is your least favorite?  Why?
·         How did writing poetry help you to appreciate the details of the poems you have read? Be sure to reference the author you are currently reading (and others!)
·         What did you most enjoy and least enjoy about the entire poetry unit?
·         What was the most difficult poem for you to write?  Which one did you enjoy the most? Least? 
·         What did you know about poetry before you started this class? 
·         What new things have you learned about poetry? Yourself? Life?
·          Grade yourself and explain why you would give that grade.
