Poets and their Poems
An Seventh Grade Pathfinder
"The
poet gives us back the world we already know, though it is a world
transfigured..." (Carleton Noyes, "Poetry," Bartleby.com) Who
are these individuals who have crafted the English language to add their
unique perspective on the world and its inhabitants? How do they evoke
image and emotion? What were their themes and styles? Choose one
individual and explore his or her life. Select a poem and explain how it
is representative of their work.
Students should refer to the outline and rubric to guide
this project.
