Sophomore Final – This LHS Life
Presentation of your choice begins Thursday, June 15
All three components due Tuesday, June 20 10 AM
1)
After perusing The Sophomore Poetry Project,
choose at least two poems that effectively convey voices that, in your view,
well represent the class of 2019.
Discuss why they resonate with you, as well as how each writer uses the
art of poetry to elevate the poem’s effect. Please find The Sophomore Poetry Project online at:
LHS2019.studentpublishingprogram.org
2)
Consider the literature that we have studied
this year. Choose one to create an
accompanying work of art to promote the text for next year’s students. Grounding your response in specific text
that you will include as an addendum or within the work itself, produce a piece
of artwork, music, or poem that will enrich students’ reading.
3)
Read over all of your monthly writings. Write a focused paragraph that asserts one
insight that reading them together at the end of your sophomore year provides
for your perspective on sophomore year.
