The
Digital
Poetry
Write­Up:
Exploring
and
Explaining
Your
Choices
In
this
4‐6
page
write‐up
you
should
explain
the
process
behind
your
digital
poem.
Using
an
informal
voice—you
talking
to
your
audience
clearly—you
should
explore
and
explain
the
choices
you’ve
made
along
the
way
while
creating
this
digital
poem.
Questions
to
consider
include:
•
•
•
•
•
How
did
you
come
up
with
the
poem
that
you
ended
up
with?
Explain
where
your
ideas
came
from
and
how
you
eventually
settled
on
a
final
version
of
your
poem.
How
did
knowing
from
the
outset
that
this
poem
would
be
“going
digital”
effect
the
writing
of
your
poem?
There
are
several
major
components
related
to
working
in
a
digital
environment.
Speak
to
each
of
these
in
terms
of
the
choices
you
made
while
composing
your
digital
poem:
o Sound
o Text
o Images
o Video
o Transitions
o Pacing
Draw
connections
between
this
digital
poetry
project
and
the
essays
you
have
written.
For
example,
how
do
the
terms
we
traditionally
apply
to
writing
work
within
this
digital
environment?
Example
terms:
Hook,
Introduction,
Transition,
Conclusion,
Thesis,
Persuasion,
Organization,
etc.
Come
up
with
a
few
of
your
own
terms
that
apply
to
both
your
digital
poem
and
your
essays.
What
were
the
difficulties
of
working
in
a
digital
environment
(i.e.,
limitations)
and
what
were
the
positives
(i.e.,
the
affordances)?
Is
your
digital
poem
an
example
of
writing,
or
is
it
something
else?
