AP Lit Sabolcik | 2013-2014 | Quarter 3 PRJ

For Quarter 3, we will be delving into some of the most significant poets of the American tradition. While you still have the option to choose the poems on which you will write an AP Poetry-style analytic paper, you must follow the particular guidelines given for each of the following PRJs. In addition, you may NOT write on a poem which we have already covered in class or one you have analyzed in a previous PRJ. Again, please do not write on the same poem twice.

In addition, please bring this packet to class every day, even after the end of the 3rd quarter. We will be studying many of the works in class and you should be prepared accordingly.

PRJ 1: An AP Poetry analysis of any one of the longer poems in your American Poetry Packet (must be longer than 14 lines). Analyze how poetic/literary techniques contribute to the overall meaning of the work.

PRJ 2: An AP Poetry analysis that includes analysis of FORM, RHYTHM, and TONE with regard to the overall meaning of any one of the poems in your American Poetry Packet (must be longer than 10 lines). (hint: your P2s should be qualified terms of form, rhythm, and tone)

PRJ 3: An AP Poetry analysis essay comparing and contrasting the literary techniques used to create overall meaning in any two of the poems in your American Poetry Packet (must be longer than 10 lines).

PRJ 4: An AP Poetry analysis essay comparing and contrasting how the overall meanings of the poems are created in any two of the poems in your American Poetry Packet. You must include a discussion on how the rhythms and structures of the poems affect their overall meanings.
