Description
Do students understand an elegy? Have you ever asked your classes to write an elegy for a character who dies in a work of literature? What about a famous historical or contemporary figure?
By writing their own elegies, students gain a greater understanding and appreciation for the form. This poetry-writing exercise for writing a students can be though-provoking and powerful for students.
This lesson includes
⭐ an assignment sheet with a detailed description of the form,
⭐ 3 writing forms to help students form their elegies as a sonnet, villanelle, or ode
⭐ peer-feedback forms to help students with revision,
⭐ a product-specific rubric to assess the student-written poem, and
⭐ examples (professional) to help students get started.
This is a rigorous poetry-writing activity for students and can easily integrated into a novel study or any poetry unit.
I have used this in conjunction with teaching "O Captain, My Captain!" and other elegies in a poetry unit, and as an option for a creative writing class. Writing your own elegy is helpful for assisting students as they write their own creations.
