Poetry Zine 70 points

As part of your work in our poetry unit, you will explore poetic forms experientially. In other words, you will write a series of original poems, which you will then publish in your own zine. Your zine will include five poems:
1. South Africa Final Project poem and reflection
2, 3. Two poems written by you about topics/issues you feel passionately about (ideas: death, love, your favorite sport, an important/difficult event in your life, etc.)
4. Your Presentation Poem (with MLA citation) and Analysis
5. Another poem by a published poet (with MLA citation) with reflection

Requirements: Because this assignment is also designed to further our formal study of poetry, I will ask you to follow these guidelines:
1. Length requirement: 10 lines minimum for each poem. Vary the lengths, and experiment with different forms (sign up for a “Forms Packet” if you want one for inspiration.)
2. Use poetic devices such as alliteration, assonance, meter/rhythm, onomatopoeia, metaphor/simile, etc. Use your poetry terms page as a reminder of how to use these. IN the table of contents, you will name the techniques you used and describe why (how do the techniques amplify your message, your imagery, or affect it in some other way?).
3. Among your five poems, you must have one of each of the following forms/techniques:
-one poem written in free verse -one poem with a set rhyme scheme
-one poem rich in imagery -one poem that uses symbolism

After you have written your poetry, you will publish it in zine form. (A zine is a small volume of self-published work, with a small circulation.) Your zine will include:
• Cover: a graphically-interesting cover with an original title
• Page 1: a title page with a creative title and publisher name (you!)
• Page 2: a copyright notice (ie.© 2009 Josephine Jones)
• Page 3: a table of contents that lists poems and the techniques used in each (see example on back of this sheet)
• Pages 4-?: poems (one per page, unless they are especially long or short)
• Works cited page with MLA citations for any images or poetry not your own
• Back cover with a picture of you and a brief anthologist biography.
Your zine may be word-processed, or carefully hand-written and then photocopied. You are encouraged to include illustrations and/or designs. (Think about printing some extra copies of your book—your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents would be pleased to get a copy!)

Sample Table of Contents:

Table of Contents

1. South Africa Final Project Poem “Transformation”…...……..1

2. South Africa Final Project Poem Reflection …………....……..2

3. “I Believe In…”…………………………………………………..4
This poem uses a symbol—the honeybee—and also repetition, alliteration and ABAB rhyme scheme. These techniques enhance the message that work should be a labor of love. The honeybee is a popular symbol for work; the alliteration using the letter “l” creates the light, loving tone when the poem addresses the idea of work, and the rhyme scheme creates a playful reading, which helps create the idea that work done lovingly can and should be fun!
Etc.
