Poetry Portfolio Outline

Due: May 3, 2012

For Poetry Night Café and Floetry Freestyle Friday in June (Date TBA)

The poetry portfolio is due on May 3, 2012, Poetry Night Café will be on May 12, 2012 and Floetry Freestyle Friday will be in June (the date will be announced at a later time). For this project, you will need to purchase an art sketch pad, 70 page spiral notebook or marble notebook. Decorate the cover of your sketch pad/notebook and type and paste the outline (which is your table of contents [T.O.C.] ) of your portfolio on the inside of the sketch pad/notebook. Please do not leave the T.O.C. as it appears below this paragraph. Where it says “Title of Poem” you should type the title of your poem and the literary device you used following the order you see below. The cover of your sketch pad/notebook should represent you or your poetry. Basically, if someone were to look at your portfolio they should be able to tell what kind of person you are. Also, the cover should have your name (first, last), grade and year in some creative way. You can use personal pictures, clip art, google images, or your own personal drawings. Next to each poem there should be images or pictures (drawn or printed) that represent the feelings, ideas or colors of your poem. The picture or drawing will be on the left side and the poem on the right side or vice versa. All poems must be edited and typed before submitting it on the due date. Please note that only one poem per literary device is required for entry. There should be no less than 10 poems (1 poem per literary device) that will be required for your portfolio. Out of the ten poems, one should have evidence of rhyme scheme (i.e. abab or aabbaabb). There are ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!!! The outline is as follows:
