About This Lesson
This research project guides students through an in-depth exploration of poetry and literary analysis. Students first read and analyze a selection of poetry. This is followed by students selecting a poet or a minimum of five poems, writing a statement of intent, and gathering relevant research materials. They then analyze the selected works, compiling a portfolio that demonstrates their understanding of literary strategies. The process continues with the drafting of a research paper, including proper citation and documentation. Through peer reviews and revisions, students refine their writing before submitting a polished final draft. The project culminates in a persuasive 5–7-minute presentation, where students showcase their findings using visual aids or multimedia elements.
This comprehensive assignment encourages critical thinking, academic research, and effective communication, ensuring that students develop both analytical and presentation skills.
