  1. Monday 8th December SMILE it’s Poetry Success Criteria: • I can understand how to deconstruct a poem using SMILE • I can use TQE to analyse a familiar poem

  2. SMILE S.M.I.L.E. is a good Acronym to help you remember what to look for when investigating poetry. • It stands for: • Structure • Meaning • Imagery • Language • Effect

  3. Never saw a sky so blue, so keen a light, all summer long. The time is now: this month, this week, to walk among the burning trees, till they snuff out. In the great park there stands an elm, yellower than sun in its chain-mail of shivering flame. The choir-school boys are playing ball, team-kitted, shrill voiced, making fun behind Sir’s back, or watching where a girl swings past. The note of red rings in her hair; in rowan leaves; in the splashed blood of berries; in the smouldering west. The gates will shut before too long. Late in the day; late in the year. They look so young, the girl with her bright fall of hair, the boys in yellow, like the trees. The Time is Now – Sheenagh Pugh

  4. S - STRUCTURE: • How is this piece organised? ( How many stanzas/verses) • How is the idea developed? (what words or phrases give the images or theme emphasis or clarity) • What is the structure? (line length/rhyme scheme? Is there any rhythm/repetition/enjambment? Use TQE!

  5. M – Meaning: • What is the poem about? • Does it have a message? • What is the poet discussing? • Is there an overall theme and idea in the poem? Use TQE!

  6. I – IMAGERY: • What pictures do you get in your mind when you read the poem? • Does the poem contain similes, metaphors, alliteration, onomatopoeia, sibilance, repetition, personification, assonance, oxymoron? • Why do you think the poet has included these images in the poem? Use TQE!

  7. L – LANGUAGE: • What words has the poet used to create an image? • Are there any complicated words? • Is the language simple to understand? • Which words and phrases create the images? (Use quotations to prove your point). • Ask yourself why to all of the answers! Use TQE!

  8. E – EFFECT: • What is the effect of the poem? • What does the poem make you feel/think about? • What opinion does it show about the subject? • What is the poet trying to say about their subject? • This isn’t where you say the poem was rubbish because it didn’t rhyme or you didn’t understand it!!!! Use TQE!
