 * POETRY WEBQUEST **

Feel free to poke around a bit before getting started. The main areas are: Introduction: Supplies the rationale and objectives, as well as a starting point.  Tasks: Supplies a brief outline of what you will be doing in this quest.  Process: Breaks down the tasks into specific detail - the directions on what to do and how to do it.  Evaluation: Offers an explanation of how your products will be assessed for a grade.  Conclusion: A look back at what you've learned and accomplished.

//Rationale: Students are often confused by poetry because they are unfamiliar with it. By discovering the types of poetry and breaking poetry and its elements down into manageable and understandable areas, students will be able to identify multiple forms of poetry and express themselves in some of those forms. //
