									Submit an Original Poem (meaning, "a poem that you wrote") to this assignment. Your poem should demonstrate your skills with word choice, sensory detail, and figurative language. You might also implement consonance, assonance, alliteration, or repetition. Remember what we said early on - poems are rich with craft. This should be true for your poem, too! I am not counting words or lines, but this submission should demonstrate substantial thought and effort. As always, I am expecting a full revision history in this document.<br><br>Please follow the following formatting guidelines for your Original Poem (the attached doc is "pre-formatted" for you):<br>Center the poem's title at the top of the page<br>Center your first and last name underneath the title<br>Include an empty line between your name and the first line of the poem<br>DO NOT center the poem. The poem itself should be left-aligned.<br>Set the font of the entire document to Times New Roman, Average, Georgia, Cambria, or Lora. <br>Make sure the text size is between 12 and 14 - no larger - and that the entire document is the same size. If you want your title to be bigger, it should not be more than 2 points bigger than the rest of the text (so if the poem is size 14, the title can be 16; if the poem is size 12, the title can be 14).<br>*Optional* If your poem is on the shorter side, you could hit "Enter" before the title a few times to center the text vertically on the page. That might balance the blank space at the bottom of the page with some blank space at the top.<br>*Optional* Add line numbers like I have added on some of the poems we read as a class. Choose the increment based on stanza length (or just go with every 5 lines). Hit "tab" a few times at the end of every line and then type the line number.<br>In addition to attaching your Original Poem, complete an Original Poem Close Reader for your own poem (the second tab of the document).<br>Be sure to write the title of your Original Poem and your name at the top of the page<br>Review my example! You don't need to write paragraphs, but your response should be error free. On this assignment, incomplete sentences or errors (punctuation, capitalization, etc.) that could be corrected by the spell checker count. Because this document is pre-formatted, messy formatting will also count against you.<br>

It might be that you are not writing full poems yet (though you could!). Just some disconnected snapshots or brief lines is enough. Aim to write 20 lines in total! Please submit evidence of what you've written (a picture or a Google Doc if you write in Docs!) There will likely be at least one craft move (sensory detail, word choice imagery, simile, repetition, alliteration, etc.) in each one. Please experiment with consonance, assonance, and alliteration in these lines!<br><br>You may (but do not have to) use the prompts below to give you some ideas!<br>Write some lines from the perspective of a familiar object in your home (a candle, a decoration, the toaster, etc.)<br>Write some lines about an important relationship in your life (friend, sibling, parent, grandparent, etc.). Be sure to make the description and details specific to YOUR relationship and not super general<br>Tell the story behind your speech, but as a poem!<br>Write some lines about something else! (Free choice!)<br>
