Poetry Reflective Essay



Write a one-page (front and back), handwritten essay on the following prompt:

Now that we have finished this unit on poetry, I want to ask you one last time, what is poetry?  Does it even matter what poetry is?  What have you learned about yourself through this process?  What did you like?  What didn’t you like? 

Use your journal and your previously created concept maps to help you construct your essay.

Thoughts to consider:
  • How your definition and perception of poetry changed
  • How you are similar or different from the character of Jack in Love That Dog
  • How the blackout and headline poems changed your ideas of what poetry is
  • Where you found poetry hiding
  • How memorizing and reciting a poem in front of an audience impacted you as a student and as a reader of poetry
