Poem Hypertexts and Semiotics

Tasks:

Part 1. Choose one of the Poetry Selections for this Unit.

Part 2. Copy and paste the text of the poem. Now, go through the poem carefully, word by word, and consider the following:

which words or phrases stand out to you?
which images or ideas are most meaningful or important to the poem?
which words or concepts are confusing to you?
which ideas or words would you like to learn more about?

Part 3. Now you get to begin your internal “treasure hunt!” Highlight the words or phrases that meet the criteria listed above in the poem and create clickable hyperlinks (right-click to “insert hyperlink” if you are composing in a Word or Google document; use the “links” key picture like this if you are composing in the textbox in our discussion forum).

Part 4. Underneath your created hypertext poem, write a reflection of at least 100 words on how and why you chose what to link to and what kinds of links to include. Discuss what you learned as you made this project.

Part 5. Respond to at least 2 of your classmates’ posts, saying what you learned from or found intriguing about their hypertexts. At least one of your responses should be on a poem you did NOT write about. Your initial post should meet all requirements, and your replies should be thoughtful and substantive.
