Motion of Emotion Project:
Reflection: Our poem was about power and hegemony. We wanted it to show what happens when someone has too much power, and how it can destroy a society. Our inspiration for this poem were the lessons on hegemony in class. In the beginning we struggled finding a theme for our poem, deciding after that the hegemony lesson was the most interesting. For us writing the poem was relatively easy. Once we had our topic the rest of it came together. The mood we were in translated to the poem. The most frustrating part about working in partners was that we couldn't always agree. It felt like the poem wasn’t as personal because there were two people writing it; we each had a different vision for the poem. The graph portrays the intensity of the emotion well. Our graph was similar, the climax was a little bit later in the poem then on the graph. The changes in the graph can display an emotional journey. The Y axis showed the main stages of a certain emotion in the poem, and the X axis showed what stage connected with which stanza. For the most part the graph matched with the poem. The climax in the poem came later then on the graph. However, the poem having to match a graph hindered our creative freedom when writing the poem. |
The goal of this project was to understand the flow of emotion. In groups we wrote poems based on a topic we are interested in that related to a lesson we learned in class. After writing our poems we made graphs to represent the emotion conveyed in the poem.

Essential Question:
Motion and emotion are related in many ways. How a person acts can show how they are feeling, and how a person feels can influence how they act.
