 * __<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Look back over your list of words and phrases and cut out everything that is dull, or unnecessary, or that just doesn’t seem right for a poem about sustainability, specifically about the subject of your photograph. Try to cut your original list in half.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As you look over the shortened list, think about the tone or attitude that the details express. The words should all relate to the subject of your photograph. Make sure that you have words that communicate //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">your // <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">emotions and the //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">significance // <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> of the photograph.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Play with the words – rework them, reorder them, create new words, etc.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Review the list of “noticings” that you created after choosing your photograph. What observations can you incorporate in to your poem? You need to include specific details.
 * 5) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Begin drafting a poem that //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">directly // <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> relates to the subject of your photograph.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Choose strong and powerful words – your poetic response should express your emotions. Reflect on why you chose **//<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">this //** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> photograph to represent your ideas about our environment, and importance of sustainability.
 * 7) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be sure to meet all of the requirements listed above.
