Epic Poems-AGAIN!
After your poor showing on Epic poetry in your portfolios,
I am asking you do another.
Step 1: Select a superhero or Disney hero's TALE to tell.
Step 2: Complete a thorough plot line
to be turned in with your draft
Step 3: Draft an Epic poem: Narrative/ Epic (Hero) Poem The story poem needs characters,
a setting and a conflict. The more specific details, the better.
The emphasis is sound devices: end rhyme, internal rhyme,
alliteration and repetition (chorus).
Directions:
1. Length 60-100 lines.
2. Use these sound devices.
-Repetition and CHORUS
-Rhyme and Alliteration
3. Have a complete plot progression: exposition, rising action,
the climax and a resolution(falling action).
