Read through your writing notebook, especially focusing on the entries you've added in this poetry unit so far. Choose one that you like and spend some time drafting
further. Be sure to include at least one sound technique and one of the figurative
language techniques we've explored in this section. Your poem does not have to be of
final draft quality when you submit it, but it must be complete and it must show the
techniques you've chosen to use. This poem may be one that you choose to include
in your final unit project.
Once you have a draft ready to submit, write a brief paragraph describing the
techniques you used. Answer the following question in your paragraph:
• What sound technique(s) did you choose to use?
• How did you use it in your poem?
. Why did you choose this particular technique, and what effect do you expect
it to have on the reader?
• What figurative language technique(s) did you choose to use?

• How did you use it in your poem?
• Why did you choose it - and what effect do you expect it to have on the
reader?
