3. POETRY PROJECT – Read through the green instruction sheet to remind yourself of what is required for your project.  Brainstorm possible themes for the project and come to class with at least ONE theme that you could focus your whole project on.  Word of advice: choose a theme that you like that is broad, rather than narrow/too specific, so you don’t limit your writing options- ex. life, growing up, friendship, travel, etc.
