FRAMED FOUND POEM for The Crucible For this assignment, you will create a Framed Found Poem based upon the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller. A Framed Found Poem is a poem that is constructed by combining meaningful phrases from the book you are reading. It gives you the opportunity to share some of the significant words or phrases from the story-‐ words that create vivid pictures or express significant ideas. Your poem should reflect your interpretation of the theme or mood of the book. Guidelines: It must be at least a 15-‐line poem. You must include the title of the play and author. Write your name on the back of the FINAL FRAMED POEM. You will turn in the Rough Draft and Final Framed Found Poem tomorrow! Directions:
1. First, take out a piece of paper to make a rough draft of your Framed Found Poem.
2. Next, find passages in your book that are particularly interesting, or well written, or that you really like. Maybe you will want to focus on a specific character’s experience throughout the story.
3. Make a list on your paper of some of the words and phrases you will want to use. Generate a long list of phrases.
4. Now begin to play with these words and images by rearranging them until you find an order that appeals to you.
Some ideas to consider: Place words that you think are most important at the end of
the lines. Set off powerful single words on lines by themselves. Use a repetitive refrain (the repeating of certain words). Create a pattern. For example, start all your lines with
prepositions, -‐ing words, or alliteration words (words that start with the same consonant sound).
5. Give your poem a title (it may or may not be different from the play title). Please give credit to the author and the book (underlined, if handwritten; italicized, if typed) that inspire your poem.
6. You are now done with your rough draft. 7. Take out a blank white paper and copy your Final Framed Found Poem
onto the paper. 8. Once you have written done the poem, it is time to design and create a
frame for it. The frame should reflect your visual interpretation of the story, either symbolically or literally. Be creative, both in your design and in the construction materials. Anything goes, but BE CREATIVE!
