 * [[image:images-8.jpeg]] || In this course students will explore writing creatively in poetic form, writing critically in their analysis of poetry, and learn how to write a critical essay on the lives of poets. Students will use the Internet to study how certain poets throughout history have challenged monarchs, dictators, governments, and human folly such as war and technological progress at any price in their poems. Students will explore the lives and works of these poets using Internet, wiki spaces, blogging, e-mail, and video downloading throughout the course. Students will explore how the poetry of these poets did or didn't effect change in history, and the resulting consequences they endured for writing these poems. Student's writings and critical reviews of writings will be shared through a class wiki. Students will be expected to create protest poetry of their own that can be utilized in future classes. ||
