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

 

Example:

 

 

Snow Day

Snowboarding down a hill

Sledding on a slippery

Slope

Dangerous black ice

Freezing cold temperatures

No School

Throwing snowballs

Playing tackle in the snow

Getting hit with snowballs

Finding yellow snow

Falling in the snow

Wet Snow
