Arrive with a printed copy of your modeled poem, which should be side-by-side on the page with the poem used for the model. Set side by side, it should be clear how your original poem was inspired by the model. Poets should consider:

• Line count (how many per stanza) and length

• Stanza count

• Rhyme scheme

• Line and language variety

• Types of imagery

• Subject matter

• Tone

• Major shifts

• Repetition

• Figurative language
