(Page numbers will be different since it’s a 12th ed book. So, you will just have to find with the title) Lesson 8 – Reading a Poem and Writing about Poetry Consider the notes you've read in this lesson about how to read and understand poetry. 1. Choose a poem we read in this lesson (listed here) and re-read it. "Head, Heart" by Lydia Davis "Poem" by Frank O'Hara "Those Winter Sundays" "The Act" by William Carlos Williams "At a Certain Age" by Deborah Cummins "For a Father" by Elise Partridge 2. Write a journal entry (about 200 words long) in which you explain (don't just summarize or re-state) the following: The moment: What event, observation, feeling, memory, experience or occasion is being recounted or described in this poem? The feeling: Who is the speaker and how do they feel about the subject they are exploring in this poem? What words or phrases are used to clearly portray the speaker's feeling? The punch: What is the purpose of this poem? What expression or statement is being made? What dynamic elements are used to make the purpose clear? Where is the poem most powerful? Write in clear and complete sentences, proofread carefully, and be sure to include the name of the poem and poet. Don't attach a document, but type (or paste) text into the text box for the journal entry. There are no formatting requirements. You are encouraged to use quotations from the poem to support or illustrate your points, but otherwise, don't consult any outside sources or website. Rely on your reading of the poem and the information from our lesson. Lesson 9 Imagery and Symbol (Discussion Board) Read selected poetry and identify its use of imagery and symbolism Use proper MLA format required for in-text citations and on the Works Cited page Respond to literature by making and supporting claims Apply understanding of imagery and symbolism by writing a response to one or more poems from this lesson LESSON CHECKLIST BOOK Read "Writing About Poetry" (pages 753-760) Read Chapter 16: Visual Imagery (page 866-867) Read Chapter 17: Symbol (page 884-885) Read these poems in the textbook: "My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke (page 857) "After a Death" by Roo Borson (page 896) "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost (page 1143) "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams (page 862) "Aunt Jennifer's Tigers" by Adrienne Rich (page 833) "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost (page 892) Choose your favorite image from all of the poems we have read so far. Write a short (five sentences or so) explanation of what the image is, what poem it's from, and why you like it. Consider the author's craft - what choices did he or she make that made this image stand out to you? For this discussion board, you may certainly use first person. Do not consult outside sources. Symbolism and Imagery Writing Assignment (Different assignment but still lesson 9) Consider the poems assigned for this lesson and choose one that you are interested in or intrigued by. Find at least two images and/or symbols within the poem. Write a 200-300 word one-paragraph analysis of the poem's use of imagery and/or symbolism. Your analysis should include a topic sentence, examples from the poem, internal citations, and analysis. Do not consult any outside sources for this assignment, which should be submitted as an attached Word document in MLA format. Include the name of the poem and poet. Remember that an analysis of literary elements includes your explaining what they mean and why they are important. If, for example, you have identified a door as a symbol, be sure to explain how it is used in the poem, what it symbolizes, and how it relates to the poem's overall meaning. Include quotes from the poem, but rely mostly on your own analysis of how and why the poet used the symbol.
