Analyze one of three poems - "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Sonnet 50 by William Shakespeare, or "Grievance" by Amy Lowell - and then write a
new poem that uses the same meter, rhyme scheme, and form as the one you
analyzed. Your original poem should be at least two stanzas long (about 8 lines), or
exactly 14 lines if you're writing a sonnet.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
• An introduction paragraph with a hook and a thesis statement about the theme of
the poem you've chosen to analyze
• An analysis paragraph that describes the rhyme scheme and meter of your
chosen poem
• 8 - 10 annotations that go into detail about the poetic elements in your chosen
poem
• An original poem that follows the same form (sonnet, ballad, or free verse) as the
poem you've chosen to analyze
