Metaphysical Poetry Project

We are just about finished working through our Metaphysical Poetry packet. Tomorrow we will finish our work on Andrew Vaughn's poem "The World."

We will then work on our poetry projects. HERE is the assignment handout.

You will choose one of our metaphysical poems and study it. You will do two things with this poem.

  1. you create an artistic representation of the poem, incorporating the text of the poem into your visual response
  2. you will write a short (2 page max) essay about this poem, connecting the important pieces of the poem to the thematic inquiry


Thursday (tomorrow) and Friday will be in-class workdays. Mrs. K will be available to meet and help. Both pieces of your project are DUE MONDAY, Nov. 19th.
