AP-12 Literature and Composition: Poetry Voice Thread You are assigned a poem to analyze and present to the class. This analysis will be shown in a Voice Thread presentation. This presentation will be completed using PowerPoint and embedded with a Voice Thread, and housed on a Wiki. All this technology will be taught to you by the media specialist or me. The requirements are as follows:

Rubric __/10 Completes a hardcopy TPCASTT of chosen poem and turns in with rubric along with__ Class copies of the assigned poem.
 * 1) Read and analyze the poem by completing a TPCASTT. You should use criticism to help you with this; therefore, you must include it on your MLA Work Cited as the last slide of your PowerPoint
 * 2) As you orally read the poem on Voice Thread, have slides on the PowerPoint contain only visuals (no words) representing the poem. The slides, with visuals, will move as you read the poem. **Note: To make the slides move without hesitation, change the default to zero.**
 * 3) At the end of the reading of the poem, have a slide or slides showing the poem written out.
 * 4) 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 from the TPCASTT.
 * 5) ** 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. **
 * 6) I will have a Wiki page with your name on it and housed at Wikispaces.com. 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.”**
 * 7) These poems will be presented to the class.
