Emily Dickinson Poetry Projects


The English 11 classes are finishing up their presentations over Emily Dickinson.  The classes were divided up into groups and assigned a poem by Emily Dickinson.  They then had to read and analyze the poem with their group and create a Thinglink about their poem.  Each Thinglink had to include the following:
  • A picture that represents the theme or message of the poem as your background.
  • A list of examples of poetic devices from the the poem.
  • An explanation of what the poem is about. (minimum 1 paragraph)
  • A brief history of the life of Emily Dickinson.
  • A link to a song that represents what you think the poem is about.
  • A definition and example of what a “slant rhyme” is.  

The students then presented the projects for the class. Check out a few of the examples below. They turned out great!!
