Poetry Anthology Requirements and due dates

Poetry
Anthology
Cover – Design a cover using a drawing, photos, or other images. Include on the cover the book’s title (come up with a catchy name), and the name of the author (you are the author) and illustrator (you are the illustrator). Your cover will receive higher points for neatness! (I recommend typing)
Title Page – List the title again, author (you), publisher (You can make up a publisher’s name), place published (Your town), and date of publication (Date you will turn the assignment in which is December 5th).
Dedication – The dedication is a line acknowledging to or for whom the book was created. Sometimes, dedications offer a few words of thanks.

Poet Pages – You will choose at least 5 poets for your Anthology. For each, you will write a brief biographical sketch of 5-7 sentences. ***YOUR BIOGRAPHY CANNOT BE COPIED AND PASTED OFF THE INTERNET!!!! YOU MUST WRITE THE BIOGRAPHY IN YOUR OWN WORDS!!! PLAGIARISM IS A SERIOUS OFFENSE AND WILL RESULT IN A ZERO FOR THIS PART OF THE ANTHOLOGY***Include a picture of the poet, if you can find one – draw one yourself, if you cannot.


Poetry Pages – Use each poet’s page to begin a section of poems written by that poet. Include five poems by each poet. Beneath each poem, include the following:
· Tone – Write a sentence or two about the tone of the poem. Tone is “a way of saying”; the tone reflects the attitude of the poet toward what or whom the poem addresses.
Ask yourself the following questions:
o How does the poem make you feel?
o How do you think the poet felt when he or she wrote the poem?
o Does the tone change or remain the same throughout the poem?
· Rhyme Scheme – If the poem has rhymes at the end of the lines, chart the rhyme scheme. If there is no rhyme scheme, check the “no” box, but beware, I will check and points will be taken off if you said “no” and there is a rhyme scheme.
· Poet’s Tools – Find and record at least two places in the poem where the poet uses a special tool or “literary elements”, such as personification, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor or simile.


Bibliography – List the sources you used to write the book. Use your reference list for citation.
