Research Activity - Creative Writing!

In class, you will research three styles of poetry of your choosing. In your research please include the history and evolution of that style and writers who specialize in that style. This all must be in your own words! Post your findings to the blog. Choose one of the styles and a writer to mirror their style in your own creative way. Write an entry explaining your choice of poet. For homework you will be mirroring a poetic form much like our short story exercise. All work taken from outside sources must be cited properly when posting to your blog.
