I have a project to do in English and I was assigned this poem type.

It is usually a dialog between two people, but it can also be a ritual liturgical poem used in a church, where the minister says something and then the congregation replies. (Why can't I remember the proper name of this thing? Old Timer's Disease!)
Like this:
She is my goddess.
-----He is my god.
She is with me.
-----He is with me.
She is within me.
-----He is within me.
She is me.
-----He is me.
. . . which, I suppose you can tell, is not Christian in origin!

I don't know that I've heard this term before, but I would say it's a poem with two voices, i.e. 1st person and 3rd person, or 2nd person and 1st person. Does that make sense? So, a poem with dialogue would be two-voice as it has narration and 1st or 2nd person speaking.
I would also venture to say that if it was assigned to you in class, then it was either covered in class or is covered in the text book. Perhaps you should be paying a little more attention...

Not surprisingly, it's a poem designed for two people to read - kinda like a spoken duet. This should help:
