Poetry Unit

This will last until the March break, with a final assignment of poetry due before then.  I have switched this for the other remaining unit on the syllabus, so we have more time for the other one, which is longer.

Minor Assignments:
- one on most poetry styles we study

Final Assignment:
- due March 10, Monday, 08:30, Tokyo time
- presented Monday through Friday of that week, as so many of you were so late on the last assignment this will give you the week to finish it if late, losing 5%/day if doing so, of course
- no partners
- format of the assignment is a poetry booklet: on paper, or online, video etc.  Most of the mark, as always, is about the written content; however, there will be marks for your readings aloud and for pictures or video you have matched to it: pictures or video made by you are better.  Other than that, I'll give you a lot of freedom on how you present it, but check with me first.
- contents must include at least four different forms or styles of poetry, and between 700 and 1200 words, and be new poems: not ones from the minor assignments
- font and size is your choice this time, but it must be easy to read and leave room on the page for me to edit

Readings:
- all of: "Imagine Poetry Anthology" and "Imagine Poetry Magazine", which is only 120 pp. over seven weeks, which is fewer than three pages a day
- also: other poems that I show you in class, of course

Make a folder on your USB, Google Documents, etc. for all of the poems that you will write, so that you can find them all when needed.
