=== Poets Using Paintings ===

[[http://english.emory.edu/classes/paintings&poems/wave.html|The Great Wave: Hokusai ]] by Donald Finkle

[[http://english.emory.edu/classes/paintings&poems/auden.html|Musee des Beaux Arts ]] by W. H. Auden 

[[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42565/the-starry-night|Starry Night]] by Ann Sexton

  * Teaching Ideas
    * Examine the repetition of color in these poems? How do different poets use the description of color to affect tone and mood?
    * Have students make multimodal remixes of the poem to develop an understanding of using fonts and images in mixed media poetry. The two elements should always work to enhance the message, unless breaking the rules in the message.
    * Many of the poets use repetition in some form? What connection does this have to the source image?
=== Poets Using Photographs ===
[[https://atthewellcrw3.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/knowledge-natasha-trethewey/|Knowledge]] by Natasha Tretheway (CW: Nude cadaver)

Much of Tretheway's work derives from images. Whether from pictures, documents, or memories these poems draw on snapshots of history. When you read the [[https://wellcomelibrary.org/item/b11833798#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0|history of the image]] Tretheway used (CW:suicide, body image) the poem becomes more real.

  * Teaching Ideas
    * Have students look for elements of gender, power, and tone?
    * Interrogate how Tretheway treats beauty. How does this treatment affect structure? word choice?

=== Reading Images and Poems ===

Read this image [[https://npg.si.edu/learn/classroom-resource/langston-hughes-1902%E2%80%931967|Hughes, National Poetry Gallery]] what does the image say about Hughes as a poet? Then compare your thought to Hughes poem [[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47558/i-too| I, Too]]. What do the two together say about Hughes as a poet and America as a society?

It's mainly off the cuff but no way a bunch of English teachers do anything without pre-writing.
