= = =AP-12 Literature and Composition = =Poetry Voice Thread Project =

 The requirements are as follows:
 * 1) Choose a poem. You may use the suggestion from our textbook located below, or you may choose your own from another source. However, you must get the alternative poem approved by me and you will need to have a copy of the poem for each classmate. You will need an MLA work cited showing where you got your poem.
 * 2) Read and analyze the poem by completing a TPCASTT. You need to find criticism to help you with this. Make a link to this website on your Wiki page and include it on your MLA Work Cited which will be the last slide of your PowerPoint.
 * 3) Write a script for your Voice Thread. This can be developed from the TPCASTT. This will be saved to your Wiki Page
 * 4) Create a PowerPoint Presentation with the following:
 * 5) Title page with name of Poem and Author
 * 6) Slides with visuals only representing your poem (you will be reading your poem while these slides are shown
 * 7) The poem writen out (you will be analyzing your poem using these slides)
 * 8) A MLA Work Cited Slide
 * 9) Save your PPT as a JEP file (select every slide)
 * 10) Go to Voice Thread to record your reading of the poem and your analysis
 * 11) To make the slides move without hesitation, change the default to zero.
 * 12) At the end of the reading the poem, have a slide or slides showing the poem written out.
 * 13) On this slide or slides showing the written poem, analyze it by reading a script. You may use your TPCASTT to help you write this script, but it must be different.
 * 14) Also while you are explaining your analysis of the poem, use the marker option on Voice Thread to mark or highlight the part of the poem you are discussing.
 * 15) I have made a Wiki page with your name on it located in the sidebar. Open up this page and edit it by giving the title of the poem, author, image of the author, and a live link to the Voice Thread. Note: to make it live, you have to have made the Voice Thread “PUBLIC.”
 * 16) These poems will be presented to the class as daily starters.
 * 17) Remember, if you chose a poem that is not in the book, you will need to have copies of it for each class member. There will be an Journal activity for the class using your poem.
