Rationale
This assignment will provide students the ability to successfully challenge themselves to reach within themselves for the strength to take a risk to solve a problem in a manner that may sit outside their comfort zone. This assignment is constructed of a series of increasingly more difficult steps that will lead to the objective of the student’s increasing their ability to integrate and build their current knowledge base with new knowledge attained though the use of tools that are readily available to them but may have to be utilized in a manner that is not traditional in nature. It is this resolution of this challenge that will ultimately lead to a successful learning experience that will hopefully subsequently lead students to the next challenge of this course.

I like your assignment a lot. From a student perspective it is easy to understand, and from a professor perspective the rationale matches the purpose very well.
Using poetry is an excellent way to open up students to what they really feel and understand about a subject. Any time I have them read and comment on a poem I receive a glance into the richness within each student. These are the places which are normally hidden from professors and it's always a pleasure to have the students trust you enough to share them.
