Poet Study
Research
an author.
1.
Fast Facts: Find 5 to 10 fast facts about the poet (be sure one is birth
date/death?)
2.
Picture: Include if possible.
3.
Genre: Determine which type of poetry and other genres he/she is noted for
(some authors produced more than one – remember Shirley Jackson who produced
stories about kids and family life as well as horror!)
4.
Literary Works: List 2 to 5 poems/books/stories written by the author & the
year published. Be sure to site them by
using quotes (poems or short stories) or underlining (novels).
5. Personal
commentary (What poem did you read from this poet? Did you like it? Would you like to read more of his/her work? Why do you think that person was so good at
the writing they did? Was there
something in the person’s background which led them to become an author?)
6.
Sources: Be sure to sight your sources properly. Some poets have their own websites or there are groups who have been
created to honor that author’s memory and works.
(Hand
in a one-page report with your information).
