Critiquing Essays and PoemsToday, we worked on our essays and poems for the majority of class. Towards the end, however, we took time to talk about what quality work looks like on your poem and its accompanying essay. We used the critique sheets (essay critique sheet, poem critique sheet) that you've been using in class to focus on what rubric categories we will be using and how I will be looking at your work. Basically, I am taking each section of the critique sheets and using those as the rubric categories. The Poem- Do the following to "Meet the Standards" (B Grade)Form and Meter (Flow, Organization): Your poem uses and stays in a poetic form and uses the appropriate rhyme scheme Your poem uses and stays in a consistent meter. Voice: Your poem clearly conveys a perspective. Content: There is enough information in the poem so that it tells a story about its event. Word Choice: Words are thoughtfully chosen for maximum poetic effect (show not tell, specific detail, etc.) The Essay- Do the following to "Meet the Standards" (B Grade)Information Why the author wrote about the event. What happened in the event. Why it happened. Why the event was significant in the scope of WW1 or beyond the war... Organization The essay is structured in a way that is easy to follow and logical. It doesn't chaotically jump around. Voice The essay gives a sense of the writer's personality and why they chose to write about the event. Words Words are chosen that make the essay engaging and easy to understand. Sentences Every sentence is well-constructed, flows well, and sounds good. Happy Weekend!
