April/May Book Assignment
Fantasy or Science Fiction
(Including Dystopian Fiction)
See the tab for "Required Reading/Book Assessments." |
Targets for Today:
I can read and analyze poetry -- and enjoy it. I can recognize figurative language and several other poetic devices. Reading: Literature Standard 4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of rhymes and other repetitions of sounds (e.g., alliteration) on a specific verse or stanza of a poem or section of a story or drama. Reading: Literature Standard 5 Analyze how a drama’s or poem’s form or structure (e.g., soliloquy, sonnet) contributes to its meaning. |

It may be hard to hear what she is saying at first, so here it is -- more or less.
So you need to analyze a poem you've never seen before.
She's going to give you a secret formula that will take you about five minutes to learn.
She says that there's one thing you have to do first though:
That is to get over the daft (crazy) idea that poetry is somehow boring or scary.
POETRY ISN'T SCARY.
Lyrics are just poetry set to music.
So when your English teacher talks about metaphor or similes, don't just immediately assume that these terms are only used by some stuffy old English bloke.
You may not realize it, but you actually already understand metaphor.

What is the difference between form and structure?
Form relates to the external shape of a text, determined by how it is presented on paper, organized by stanzas/paragraphs, lines, syllables, rhyme, justification – best thought of as a silhouette. It is a simpler thing to comment on because it is usually visible. [Ms. Dorsey adds: Forms of poetry include haiku, sonnet, acrostic, free verse, limerick, etc.] Structure is more interesting because it goes beyond the visible – it is a matter of the internal development and relationship between parts: structure is about the internal skeleton and organs – best thought of as an X ray or CT scan, displaying the organic relationship between ideas, feelings and attitudes within a text. For example, the form of a sonnet is its 14 line length, its 8 line/6 line division and its rhyme scheme. Within that form the structure may be 8 lines of description leading to 6 lines of reflection, generalization, resolution; or the mood may go from neutral to sombre, or from sombre and resentful to acceptant.
