  1. Intro to Poetry Identifying poetic and literary devices in Disney songs

  2. Simile and Metaphor • Simile- A figure of speech in which the words like or as are used to compare two apparently dissimilar items. The comparison, however, surprises the reader into a fresh perception by finding an unexpected likeness. • Metaphor- A figure of speech in which one thing is spoken of as if it were something else. Unlike a simile, which compares two things using like or as, a metaphor implies a comparison between them. • As we listen to the next two songs, identify at least three similes or metaphors within each. Be prepared to discuss what comparison is being made and how it adds to the song.

  3. I’ll Make a Man Out of You

  4. Discussion • What similes did you find? Did you find any metaphors? What are they comparing? How does this add to the song?

  5. Symbol • Symbol- Anything that stands for something else. In addition to having its own meaning and reality, a symbol also represents an abstract idea. • As we listen to the next song, in addition to identifying three similes and/or metaphors, think about what the storm is meant to represent and be prepared to discuss your answer.

  6. Let It Go

  7. Discussion • What is the storm meant to represent? Why is it “howling” and “swirling”? What does Elsa mean when she says the cold doesn’t bother her? • What similes and metaphors did you find? How do they add to the song?

  8. Puns, End Rhyme, and Internal Rhyme • Pun- A play on words involving a word with two or more meanings or two words that sound alike but have different meanings. • Ex. “Ask for me tomorrow and you will find me a grave man” • End rhyme- Occurs when the rhyming words come at the end of lines • Ex. Swans sing before they die—’twere no bad thing Should certain persons die before they sing. • Internal rhyme- Occurs when rhyming words appear in the same line • Ex. Once upon a midnight dreary, as I pondered, weak and weary

  9. Puns, End Rhyme, and Internal Rhyme • Try to identify one pun, one use of end rhyme, and one use of internal rhyme within the next song.

  10. HakunaMatata

  11. Personification, imagery, and hyperbole • Personification- A type of figurative language in which nonhuman objects are given human characteristics. • Imagery- The description or figurative language used to create word pictures for the reader. These pictures, or images, are created by details of sight, sound, taste, touch, smell, or movement. • Hyperbole- A deliberate exaggeration or overstatement.

  12. Personification, imagery, and hyperbole • In the next song, try to find at least two examples of personification, imagery, or hyperbole.

  13. I’ve Got A Dream

  14. Put it all together • Identify at least three pieces of figurative language used in the next song. These may come from any of the previous slides. Identify whether the song has end rhyme, internal rhyme, or both.

  15. Never Had A Friend Like Me

  16. Bonus: A Place Called Slaughter Race
