=Poetry... more than words=

Poetry is a literary art with many forms. As you journey through this PowerPoint, you will learn about several of those forms and encounter examples of each.

OR
 * Before you start, be sure you have:**
 * a pencil and a sheet of paper
 * an open Word document
 * (AND e-mail access or a printer if doing this activity at home).


 * How do I navigate the PowerPoint?**
 * When you begin, you will come to the point of departure slide where you will be presented with 3 poetry forms: acrostic, haiku, and Shakespearean sonnet. From here, click on the name of the form that you want to investigate first. Let's say you choose haiku. Click on the word "haiku" and read through the haiku slide using these navigational tools:
 * **411** – Find out basic information about a form.
 * **?** – Interact with an example of a form.
 * **!** – Write your own poem using the form.
 * For each form you will read an example of a poem in that form. You can find the poem by clicking on the picture labeled "poetry link" on the upper right corner of a form's information slide. (Note: There are three choices for the Shakespearean sonnet.)
 * In the **?** and **!** sections, you will need to use your pencil and paper or a Word document to answer the questions and complete the writing activities. The **?** sections refer to the sample poems, so be sure to follow the link and read them. An identical picture link on the poem's page will allow you to return to the form information page. You can go back and forth between the two.
 * Finally, when you finish investigating a form, clicking on this icon [[image:juniorschool:house_clipart.gif width="48" height="48"]] will bring you back to the **point of departure slide**.
 * Investigate all 3 forms and turn in your work tomorrow at the beginning of class. If you are using a Word document, you may e-mail it to me at teach@school.org.
