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) Must be original (not copied), except that you may use the tune of any song. Must not include vulgar or derogatory language.
