 * Each group will create two mini-poet profiles on our wiki in slide show or iMovie format. Though you have chosen your own groups, I will assign each group two poets and you will use one wiki page to profile both of them. As we discussed in class, each author’s profile should contain the following information, though not necessarily in this order. **
 * 1. Historical & Literary Context: What is the story of the time in which this poet wrote? **
 * Why is the poet even on this list? **
 * 2. What are the representative works of the poet? Include the text of the poems you feel **
 * are critical to appreciation of this poet **
 * 3. Influences: what inspired him/her? What events, people, places? **
 * 4. Literary Analysis: what makes the poetry work” style? subject? purpose? your insights **
 * & annotations on the poems you post (where your work will shine) **
 * 5. Relevant Criticism: How do others assess the poet? What is his/her reputation? **
 * 6. Biography: only as needed (see 3) **
 * 7. Art, music, video as indicated: design of page up to you, but page must include **
 * dynamic graphic elements. Dazzle me. **
 * Each group will spend five days on their two poets and will: **
 * *Post the text of 3-5 representative poems for each poet in a pleasing format **
 * *Add 10 links of QUALITY content to one or more of the headings **
 * (i.e. no sparknotes or other wikipages) including short digests (each group member should author at least one) of the 3 best links. **
 * * You must annotate at least one of each poet’s poems in detail with notes on themes, subject, literary devices, structure, etc. **
 * *Each page should have both graphic and written content. (You must provide caption and significance for graphic content). When you create a slideshow or iMovie, make sure **
 * to cite any research you did. **
 * * At least 3 of your sources from either poet will be cited in the tag section **
 * of the wiki page. (discussed in class) **
 * *You will be assessed on the quality of content, as well as the design of the page. **
 * I will be reviewing the pages each night to highlight that day’s additions. **


 * Suggestions to start your search: the Poetry Foundation **
 * Poetry Out Loud, Poets.org, the Guardian culture pages **


 * You will be assessed on the content (70%) and appearance (30%) of your profile. I also assess the individual group members’ work—amount and quality. **
