Introduction
This webquest will get you acquainted with different poetry websites so you can explore poet biographies and poems. In order to prepare for writing an "inspiration" poem, you will also look for photographs or artwork that moves or interests you which will later act as a muse for your next poem.
Task
Throughout this trimester we will be looking at a vast number of different poets and their poems. There will be times that you may become interested in a certain poet and want to read more of his or her work. You will also sign up to present one poet to the class and will need to present both biographical information and examples of the poet's work. To help you with all of this, you will explore some of the best poetry websites the Internet has to offer. You will be looking through general websites, biographies, and poems at first, but will also end by looking through art and photographs in order to find a piece that moves or interests you. In our next class we will be writing poetry inspired by the picture you bring in. (If you choose you can bring in a photograph of your own.)
