Independent Poetry Project Ideas by Kim Watkins https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e Post your ideas for a project you would find meaningful and relevant. Feel free to comment on the ideas of others. en-us 2021-02-19 06:01:28 UTC 2025-11-15 07:37:37 UTC hello@padlet.com I think that a requirement should be to connect a certain number of our Poet's poems to a current event or multiple current events. jzasadzinski2021_3 https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219824705 2021-02-19 18:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219824705 I think a reasonable timetable for this project is to have this due at the end of the triad, which would give us three more weeks to work on this. It would also be very helpful to have regular check ins every week. flopez20212_1 https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219827002 2021-02-19 18:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219827002 A reasonable time table for this project might be a week or a week and a half, and I think check ins when we meet for class might not be a bad idea, but dont really have an opinion either way. jzasadzinski2021_3 https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219828372 2021-02-19 18:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219828372 erobles2021_3 https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219828833 I think that a reasonable time table for this project would possibly be a triad, or until the end of this triad.

I also think that a regular check-in would help me to keep on top of my work for this project and not procrastinate until the last minute.

I have noticed that, at least for me, whenever I work at my own pace, I tend to keep up with the work or even get ahead on the project. I am not sure if this is true for others, but based on what I have seen, most students may agree? eboardman2021_1 https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219832387 2021-02-19 18:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219832387 hparedes20211_1 https://padlet.com/kwatkins21_3/acrl4m1q2vlhjx4e/wish/1219832928 I think it would be very fun if we all wrote a letter to our poets, because the poets are still alive.

We could have an assignment to find a poem that we personally relate to and another assignment to find a poem that connects to an event in our world today.
