Click on one of the links below from Spoon River
Anthology or choose your own from the site.
Copy and paste the poem and explain
who this person is and what happened in his/her life.
Bonus points for any figurative language found and indentified.
You can write your explanation out right next to the line or lines you
are explaining. Make sure you
include what you think their life was like (hard, lonely, happy) and why you
think that.
When you are
finished, write your own epitaph/obituary/tombstone poem about any famous or
infamous person. Type it on the same
page. It must be at least 12 lines
long. Remember that you are writing
it from the person’s point of view. Finish
for homework if necessary by saving it in Gaggle.
Due Friday.
