Poetry - A Tool for Expression in Many Forms.
How has poetry changed and stayed the same over the past century. Who are some of its contributors old and new?
Research poets, poems, and poetic styles

There are a wealth of poems and poets on the web. You are not limited to using the poets or styles that were shown in this Webquest. Although you may use some of these styles or poets, you are encouraged to research other styles and poets. When selecting poems and poets be careful to pay attention to negative language and themes that would not be appropriate to report on and be sure that your parents are aware that you are doing research on poetry so that they can help you steer clear of negative material.

 

Some of the types of poetry you can reasearch are:

 

Formal written poetry

Rap

Song Lyrics

Slam Poetry

 

 

I have attached a letter explaining the project to your parents that they can view here or you can print out and show them.
