Poetry Presentation

Base XP: 60

For this quest, your task is to select someone else's poetry and connect it to YOUR life context.


You will create a visual, audio and poetic ''story'' using a presentation/movie tool such as iMovie, PowerPoint, or other.

Presentation

  1. Find a poem(s) OR a song(s) that represents your life journey and/or your life values and perspectives, thus far. The poem/song needs to be one that has deeper meaning and significance (that is, NOT a 'pop' song or a song whose purpose is purely entertainment).

  2. Then, find visual images that clarify/enhance/explain/represent visually the message/theme/values of the poem(s)/song(s) you have chosen. The images should:

    • clearly illustrate your journey, and

    • be illustrative of the figurative elements of the poem/song you have chosen.

  3. Your presentation must include:

    • the lyrics or text of the poem by one, or more, of the following options:

      • type out the text of the poem(s) to accompany the images, and/or

      • narrate the poem(s) and/or have a sound track with your slide show/movie, and/or

      • include the song to accompany the slide show/movie;

      • a minimum of 10 graphics/images.

Explanation

Write a minimum 200-word paragraph explaining the way in which the poem/song you have chosen represents your life journey.

Please remember to tell me if it took you longer than 60 minutes (with explanation).

If you need some instruction for how to add audio to powerpoint, you can watch this (absolutely painful) YouTube video.

Or maybe search to find one with audio that doesn't make your ears bleed? If you do find a better video, please let me know!
