Please think about these questions as you choose your words and design your project?

  • What tone would you like to set?  How do you plan on accomplishing this?
  • What media tools are you using to set your tone?  What are you doing with those tools?
  • Why did you pick that font, pic, sound? Be able to explain?
  • How do you want this poem to make others feel?  Do think you accomplished this? Why?

Share your project with a classmate.  Offer them constructive criticism and do the same for them.
