Poetry and Pictures

PowerPoint

Goal/Objective/Performance Indicator: Design a 4 to 5 slide PowerPoint presentation.

Standard 1.9

You will be using all or part of a poem. See the poetry sites list

You will need 2 or 3 pictures that relate to the parts of the poem that you have chosen to use. See the picture sites as a guide for finding pictures.

Go to one of the poetry sites or a site you know about to find a poem that has lines that make good use of imagery. Example: Robert Frost’s poem Fire and Ice.

Using the pictures and the lines of a poem, design a PowerPoint presentation. This is a “digitized paper”. Instead of assignments that have students typing their work and handing it in on a piece of paper, this assignment allows them to explore using text, pictures and even sound if one wishes. Example—if a brook or stream is in the piece, a sound file of a flowing stream might be appropriate. Try key word searches for wav or midi files.

Requirements:

* Title Slide

Your name

Date

Title of presentation

* 2 to 3 informational slides (slides with poem and pictures)

* Bibliography slide—I am not going to require official format for this slide.

You must have the poem author’s name someplace.

You should have the sites referenced where you found both the pictures and the poem

Save this too your jump drive in the folder for work in this class.
