  1. Warm Up 10/27 • Pull up the villanelle and re-read. If your group worked on it, pull up your SIFT. If not, wait for our discussion. In the place of your warm-up today, you’ll eventually write the theme of the poem(s) in your organizer. • Pull up the SIFT sheet, your notes, and wait for further instructions.

  2. Now… • Determine the THEME of each poem, and evidence of its form (do this only for the ones we haven’t went over yet). For evidence, think about 1. how this poem falls into the category, and 2. how the form is appropriate for its content.

  3. Components of a Ballad • It is a short narrative, which is usually—but not always—arranged in four-line stanzas with a distinctive and memorable meter. • The usual ballad meter is a first and third line with four stresses—iambic tetrameter—and then a second and fourth with three stresses—iambic trimeter. • The rhyme scheme is abab or abcb • The subject matter is distinctive: almost always communal stories of lost love, supernatural happenings, or recent events. • The ballad maker uses popular and local speech and dialogue often and vividly to convey the story. This is especially a feature of early ballads.

  4. Ode, Elegy, Dramatic Monologue Copy the bolded portion only: • Ode: Name given to an extended lyric poem characterized by exalted emotion and dignified style. An ode usually concerns a single, serious theme. Most odes, but not all, are addressed to an object or individual. Odes are distinguished from other lyric poetic forms by their complex rhythmic and stanzaic patterns. • Elegy: a Greek or Latin form in alternating dactylic hexameter and dactylic pentameter lines; and a melancholy poem lamenting its subject's death but ending in consolation.   • Dramatic monologue: a poem representing itself as a speech made by one person to a silent listener, usually not the reader.

  5. Learning Targets • To read examples of the ode, elegy, and dramatic monologue. • To use the SIFT method to analyze these poems. • To determine the theme of each poem and to fill out the chart.

  6. Ode, Elegy, Dramatic Monologue • SYMBOLS • IMAGERY • FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE • TONE (words)

  7. Independent Work • Determine the THEME of each poem. • Add both yesterday’s and today’s poems to the chart that you started Monday in your journal.
