Eng: WW1 Poetry Project, Part 2

Today we started this:

Choose a line or two from your favorite of the World War I poems your group has studied and present it artistically. Your art may be literal (i.e. an actual image or event described in the poem) or symbolic (i.e. a symbolic representation of an emotion, feeling, or idea the poem evokes). USE THE WHOLE PAPER.

Include:

• The poem title;
• The author’s name;
• The line of poetry (clearly and legibly of course);
• The correct heading information (on the back).

We will finish this tomorrow.
