2. To get the most out of this course, here are some recommended resources to help you:
The Poetry Foundation is an organization based out of Chicago, IL and represents all things poetry. Besides their print magazine and local events, they have a comprehensive website that includes a database of poems, lesson plans, a noteworthy blog and a glossary. The latter will come in handy as you move through this course.
Poets.org is a similar online resource developed and updated by the Academy of American Poets.
3. Exercise: The Found Poem: A Brand New poem in Three Easy Steps
Grab a paragraph of text from a book or on the web and make a found poem by breaking a passage into lines. A poem is more than line broken prose, but this exercise can help you experiment with rhythm and sound quickly.
Search the internet for an interesting short PROSE passage about your TOPIC/THEME. Copy and paste it into a Google doc. Work on line breaking the passage into a poem. Post your found poem on Google Classroom for credit for this assignment.
