Problem
Using "Duplex" or "Praise the Rain" as a model, write an imitation poem.
Your piece should resemble the structure of the original, but may not use the topic, theme, plot, major ideas, or exact wording (these should be your own). If you are unsure, please check with me well before the due date.
You should:
a) clearly communicate your theme with word choice, images, and concepts
b) use Standard English unless otherwise explained
Reflection
Answer the following questions. Each answer should be 3-5 sentences with specific examples.
a) What are you imitating about the author's original text?
b) Define topic and theme. Now tell me, what is your topic? What is your theme?
c) Define and give an example of one of our class terms (not a grammar term) that you've used in your poem.
