2012/2013 Poetry Summative Assessment

You are to create a short booklet of original poems, taking care to create a product that is polished and attractive. You are welcome to indulge your artistic nature to enhance the final product.

You will be graded on:

-how effectively you use poetic devices such as: metaphor, simile, alliteration, personification, rhyme, and onomatopoeia. -your ability to apply proper formatting, for example: do your haiku's have the correct syllable pattern? Have you used a rhyming scheme in your limerick? -how effectively you communicate. Is your writing free of spelling, capitalization, punctuation and grammar errors? Do your words flow well? Is what you have written understandable? -the degree to which you create a product that enhances your writing through the use of illustrations and/or formatting, choice of font and/or color. To explain using a simile, it's like making a picture nicer by putting a good frame around it.
