Choices Project
This is the second project of the course and deals with, you guessed it, poems about choices! Similar to the Afghan Women Project, this one also has four parts that must be completed before submitting your work to the assignment submission link. A few reminders:
Part 1: Read and analyze three poems: "Road Not Taken," "Fire and Ice," and "To An Athlete Dying Young." Again, you can find links to these poems in the "Choices Project" folder in the blue "Life & Death" button. Complete this worksheet.
Part 2: Select one poem that you liked the most and listen to all three interpretations/readings of this poem (again, look in the project folder for the links to the readings). Then complete the worksheet for these three interpretations; be as specific as possible because you will need this information for part four.
Part 3: Write a three-paragraph essay about the poem you listened to in part two. Follow this outline:
**Paragraph 1: Explain why the poem or poems appeal and what you learned from about making choices in your life. Be sure to use a hook at the beginning of this paragraph to catch your reader's attention.
**Paragraph 2: Discuss the similarities between the two interpretations. Be sure to use concrete evidence (quotes) from the poem and readings to support your ideas.
**Paragraph 3: Discuss the differences between the two interpretations. Be sure to use concrete evidence (quotes) from the poem and readings to support your ideas. End the paragraph with a concluding sentence that wraps up your ideas and leaves the reader thinking.
Part 4: Complete the speaking part by recording your own reading of the poem you wrote about in part 3. To learn more about making a recording, click here.
Once you have completed all four parts of the project and reviewed the rubric to see how you will be graded, you are ready to submit your assignment to the War Poets Project assignment submission link.
