Creative Poetry Project

For your final poetry assignment of the year, you will choose one poem from the Victorian or Modern Era units that you find particularly intriguing and you will represent it in a  more artistic and personal manner. This is due May 20th. The three project options include:

   ·         Creating a painting that represents a line or a major idea of the poem.
   ·         Creating a voice-over video that highlights the topic or theme of the poem (this may include two people).
   ·         Recreating the poem in a dance/performing-arts medium.

Possible poems include:
·         Bronte
o   Love and Friendship
o   Often rebuked, yet always back returning
