AP DIRECTIONS FOR SCAVENGER HUNT



Poetry:  Scavenger Hunt
1.      Get on google docs, and make a COPY of “Poetry Terms”.
2.     Re-name it, “Your Last Names, Poetry Terms”, then share it with me and your partners.
3.     Review the list of poetry elements with your group.  Which ones are familiar?  Which ones are new?
4.     Using the poems in your book, pages 3-30, start a scavenger hunt the terms on your list—try to find an example that is the very epitome of the term.
5.     Your group should devise its own strategy for searching and recording.
6.     The goal is to glean as many poetry elements as you can in your search, and to record a CORRECT example for each one.
