Whenever I have a lot of papers to grade, I find some other way to occupy my mind. Something that is urgent, creative, fun... usually planning my next units.
I'm not sure exactly how it will work out, because I want to cover various poetic forms and techniques at the same time, but I want to teach poetry through its relationship to other art forms, and somehow I found out that there is a word for this: Ekphrasis. A work of art based on another work of art. Fantastic concept!
I've started a small Diigo collection of websites I am tagging "ekphrasis" for use in my unit. I would love ideas!
Poetry about Art.
Art about Poetry.
