SP#2: Poem with Two Voices
Sophomore Project: #2
Poems for two voices
To Start Off…
- Offers two perspectives, or opposing points of view
- A dialogue
- Each voice speaks individually and then the two voices speak together
- When writing together the voices comment on something that they agree or agree to disagree about.
- In the end the two sides do not have to agree. They may agree to disagree.
Ideas on how to get started…
- Use a venn diagram to brainstorm the two sides of your poem
- Chose a topic that has two “persuasive” topics.
- Keep it fun
- Be creative
