You'll use your creativity to write a memorable study guide for yourself. We all remember things most easily when they are in the form of a song or a chant, with rhythm and rhyme. I'll put the best ones in what I call the "Poem / Song Hall of Fame," so everyone can benefit from the creativity of classmates before the final.
What?
- Check out the rubric for details:Poem_Song_Rubric_Canvas.doc
- At least 3 stanzas or verses, or at least 12 lines, whichever is more.
- So if you do haiku, do at least 4 related haiku for 12 lines.
- Double space the lines.
- Start each line with a capital letter.
- End each line with appropriate punctuation.
- Must rhyme and have consistent rhythm (except for haiku, which do not rhyme).
- At least two lines per stanza must have "perfect rhymes."
- See these web resources about rhythm and rhyme.
- Must include plenty of accurate content, using course vocabulary correctly.
- The content must be from Anthro. 1 rather than primarily from another class.
- The content should have a focus or should explain a single concept, theory or category.
- E.g., if the first stanza is about genetic drift (rift, gift, sift, miffed),
- the remaining verses should be about a related topic such as
- alleles (reveals, appeals, unseals)
- gene flow (grow, mow, no, throw)
- variation (nation, elation, station -- note: this does not rhyme with evolution)
- the remaining verses should be about a related topic such as
- E.g., if the first stanza is about genetic drift (rift, gift, sift, miffed),
- Must be original (not copied), except that you may use the tune of any song.
- Must not include vulgar or derogatory language.
