Poet Laureate Project:
In this project the 10th grade class wrote, edited, designed and published a selection of poems accompanied by an explanatory essay. In the beginning we were given a country that we had to do research notes on along with a stuffed outline. We were encouraged to research and unheard perspective that is usually left out of mainstream history. The research notes consisted of country research and an event that country was involved in during WWI. The stuffed outline was a cleaned up and refined version of our research notes. We then chose a specific poetic writing form that we would use to create our poems. When we finished our poems, research notes, stuffed outline and an explanatory
essay we were tasked with producing a professional presentation that we would deliver to the whole class. Along with creating poems we had to write an essay that explained our perspective, historical context, and why we wrote this. During this process all students were given a book launch team which would add up to create our magnificent book. The book launch teams were: fundraising, web team, event managers, global promotion, copy editors and book design teams.
Here are my finished products which include my poem, explanatory essay and presentation:

Here is my Project Archive Link:
My Book launch team was the web design. In this we created a website through Weebly to professionally and digitally show off the work we have done. There were four people who had a helping hand in creating the website Kai, Dylan, Sterling and I. Kai and I focused on creating the website and and the logistics involved in that while Dylan and Sterling made videos to creatively make our website more appealing. During this we accomplished a professional website that illustrates the poems, essays and all we have done during this project. We displayed all the pieces other people made and all aspects of the website function properly.
