people) or independently, find and select a poem by one of the following
modern writers (the poem may NOT be one already discussed in class):
·
T.S. Eliot

Ezra Pound
·
William Faulkner

F. Scott Fitzgerald

William Carlos Williams
- Choose ONE of the
following three options. You
will prepare this option during the remainder of this class and present it
next class.
- Performing
Art-(Music) – What would your chosen poem sound like if it was made into
a song? Put it to music or
simply sing it for us.
- Performing
Art-(Dramatic Reading) – Imagine your chosen poem being read at some
grand arts theatre; what would it sound like? Read it to us the way you feel it was meant to be
read.
- Visual Art – What
does your chosen poem look like?
Draw, or use some other medium, to create your masterpiece. In your presentation, you will
read your poem to the class.
For
any choice you make, a few things are important:
- TONE and MOOD of the
poem – this should be evident in your artistic representation
- ELEMENTS OF MODERNISM
should be clear in each and every work of art (alienation, isolation,
rejection of traditional themes, etc). Think about how these elements can be represented –
color, sound, facial movements, etc.
- Each work of art must
be accompanied with a short, but comprehensive, WRITTEN EXPLANATION as
well as a hard copy of the poem
