samplepoetpage

Once you have created a poet page (which is simply your poet's name with no spaces), then you are ready to fill this page with interesting information. Here are the things which should be in your page: Make your page look visually appealing by adding headers, boldface, interesting fonts, etc. Your page, combined with all of your classmates' poet wiki pages will create our own "Poetpedia"! We will share our finished work on a "class collaboration day," probably January 13. Your poet wiki page is due, fully completed, by the end of class on January 12, 2012.
 * Your byline for the information included on your wiki page.
 * A brief, paraphrased bio of your poet. Write about 6-8 lines. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE. Read some interesting things about your poet and then, in your own words, put that information into your wiki page. If you go to poets.org you can probably find good information.
 * Some audio or video that relates to your poet. You can create a link to a podcast, upload a YouTube video, find an audio recording of your poet, etc. (To embed a YouTube video use the widget tab above)
 * An image or photo that relates to your poet or your analyzed poem.
 * A copy of the poem by your selected poet which you analyzed using the provided template.
 * A paragraph which summarizes the information and ideas from your analysis.
 * An original poem composed by you in which you imitate the style (and maybe the subject matter) of your selected poet.
