Assignment Outline
Directions:
The poem on page 3 titled “A Walk in the Woods” is very poorly written. It
does not have any figurative language, rhyming or even imagery, and the
words the author used are so boring. Your job is to make this poem better!
On page 4 you will create a rough draft of your new and improved poem.
When you are proud of your work your last step will be to write a good copy
on page 5.
Requirements:
Your poem must have at least 10-15 revisions in it, but the more you revise
the better chance you have at getting a great mark. You may only use each
revision a maximum of 3 times. This means your revisions cannot all be
finding synonyms. You can choose to add figurative language, internal
rhymes, end rhymes, repetition, imagery, etc.
For example changing the word “happy” to “exuberant” would count as one
revision.
or
Adding figurative language to the line “the air was cold” and changing it to
“the air was cold as ice” would also count as one revision.
Goal:
I found a field
Filled with flowers
And shrubs with berries
I stopped to pick a few
The berries were sweet
