Task 1. PowerPoem Prezi’ntation. Using PowerPoint presentation or Prezi software, create an audio-visual
presentation of your interpretation of the poem, “Dousing Fires” by Glenn Sentes. Make sure to employ
photographs, audio clips or music, video clips, and texts to be able to breathe life into the masterpiece. Do not forget
to acknowledge where you have taken the images, audio clips, and video clips you have used in this project. Place
them on the bibliography notes at the end of your presentation. Finally, be guided by the rubric below on how your
output will be rated. Send your output to the e-mail address specified by your teacher. Best of luck!

Dousing Fires
By Glenn Sentes
How will one's feet dance to the rhythms if the gongs have ceased to pump the veins?
Are the hues of the palette enough for a leonardeschi art to transcend?
When your mezzo-soprano fails to hit, will your story still get heard?
Will a cyclist still pedal to savor the orange horizons without his friends?
Who will listen when the wrinkled fingers lay on the dusty piano?
Do these words still tell of a poet who once penned in flames?

Task 2. Passion Comicalized. No gadget? Do not fret! This activity is specially for you. Carry on! The poem above
speaks of one who loses passion. In a comic strip of 3 or 4 frames, tell a story of someone who seems to be tired of
doing what he or she used to love, say a ballerina, a cartoonist, a singer, or a sculptor. Remember that a comic strip
(although it has a character, setting and plot condensed in 3 or 4 frames) uses very minimal words; so, use dialogs
sparingly. You may want to try viewing some comic strips on the newspaper to draw some inspiration as far as style
is concerned. Be guided by the rubric below.
