*Bell Ringer: Modern Era Review
*How to Explicate a Poem (handout + practice/example)
*Movements of Modern Era poetry: Notes and group work (new poetry packet)
Assigned Groups:
- Read all poems together, then:
- With your group, plan if any research needs to be done before you present, then do it if necessary
- Work time on poems: you will TEACH them tomorrow:
- Annotate, teach (explain in detail) anything/everything you think needs explaining, meanings (literal and figurative), poetic devices, background, connection to Modern Era and poetic movements
*Things to Teach:
- What is the poem about? Surface (what happens in the poem, story)? Deeper (theme, message, big picture)? (If also in a text book, what are some of the questions the book asks?)
- What is the emotion of the poem?
- Is there any pattern (word, rhyme, image, etc)?
- Is there a format? (What does it look like, mechanics, line breaks, etc)
- What poetry terms are used in the poem? How do they contribute to the meaning?
- Alliteration, symbolism, personification, rhyme, repetition, figurative language (simile, metaphor, imagery), allusions, others?
- What rules does the poem follow or break?
- What characteristics from our notes can be seen in the poem? How does it fit into this era? (imagism, free-verse, objectivism, etc)
- (Page 4 folks…) Ars Poetica: a statement by the poet about poetry, about his or her beliefs about what poetry is and about what it does. What does the poem demonstrate about poetry?
