2. Add NO words of your own, except for a title.

3. Do not alter or paraphrase the passage you select.

4. Decide in advance which words will matter the most in your poetic expression of the text. Will you use key words to start or end the lines? Which phrases will gain impact by standing on lines alone? Which phrases will benefit by being stretched over two or more lines? Are there any repetitions or internal relationships of words that you can showcase by creating more than one stanza?

5. Be sure to save all of your rough drafts; that way you can explain all of your decisions. Practice reading your poem aloud to see the effect.

6. Use a computer to set the lines of your poem, carefully choose appropriate font, style and point size. Or you may use another creative method to present your poem, e.g. Calligraphy.

7. Save this work for use with part two of the assignment.

8. This is your monument to the Holocaust survivors – your opportunity to ‘remember’ them as Elie has asked of us. Be sure to remember them in a professional, creative and impactful manner. Make this work something that you are truly proud to put your name on.
