Poem analysis assignment: Create an Infographic about a poem
When choosing your poem for the Infographic Analysis assignment, consider the following:
The BIG IDEA for this study of poetry is: Can poetry contribute to our understanding of ourselves and our lives? So, pick a poem that will fit with this question (just about any poem will do that).
Also, your infographic poem analysis MUST contain all the completed steps related to the orange "Close Reading of a Poem" handout.
Finally, your infographic MUST also deal show your understanding that all texts, including poems, are socially, culturally, historically and geographically constructed. Look back a the purple "Place Mat" activity we did in class related to texts and the significance of society, culture, geography and history.
Your poem must be at least 14 lines long.
Go to: poetry.org or Poetry in Voice to start your search for a poem.
It is okay to go online and research information about your poem. However, do not do any cutting and pasting of ideas from online sources. Gather ideas, digest them, integrate them into your understanding of the poem - then do the infographic.
Sample infographics can be found at english12adams.blogspot.ca / blog posts dated: November 23 - November 27, 2015. Please be aware that I have added more elements to the infographic you have to do compared with previous semesters. I have not yet updated the rubric that is in the English 12 links section. It will be updated by Monday.
Poetry Assignment:
Poem analysis presented in an infographic.
Rubric:
Needs to be updated for this semester - will be updated by Monday, May 4th. The old rubric will give you an idea of the evaluation points. The infographic rubric is in the links section to the right of this post. Make sure you scroll down the rubric document to see the full details about the assignment.
STEP 1:
Choose a poem. Make sure you show your poem to me.
STEP 2:
You should spend a good chunk of time on analyzing your poem. To carry-out your analysis, complete the orange "Close Reading of a Poem" sheet. I have made extra copies ; see me if you want one. You can do research about the poem and the poet online, but don't forget to cite any sources of information you use in your infographic. As well don't forget about the society, culture, geography and history aspects as they relate to your poem.
STEP 3:
Think about the PURPOSE, AUDIENCE and MESSAGE for your infographic. Look at some infographics to gather ideas.
STEP 4:
Find a web site that has a free application that allows you to create infographics. Do be thoughtful in your choice - some of these "free" apps allow only limited use; you have to pay to get the really useful features.

STEP 5
Begin to design your infographic. A successful infographic relies on a strong, clear structure. Your poem analysis infographic should strive to be: accurate, informative, clear, beautiful. Here are some examples of poetry related infographics:
