Project+Details

              **What’s Your Story?** The Project: use poetry and lyrics to tell your story. After reading a series of poems of your choice, create a representation of ‘your story’ based on lines of poetry (or music lyrics) that represent who you are. The poetry or lyrics can be quotes from professionals or your own words: just make sure you site the source. Also, use images, words, or music to further explain the lines that were chosen. **What should I include? ** Tell about things that are important to you. This could be family, friends, activities, hobbies, interests, goals, community, etc. that make you who you are.

**What are the requirements?**


 * Use at lines from different poems.
 * With each line or group of lines, include words or images explaining why they represent you.
 * Follow copyright laws.
 * Cite the author with the lines.



**What are the grading categories?**


 * Use the required amount of lines to answer the question- what's your story?
 * The combination of lines you use should have a similar theme or create meaning when combined with each other.
 * A final draft format is required, including use of proper grammar and punctuation.
