  1. -What is the most difficult part about poetry to you? -stanzas/lines -assonance -allusion -imagery -tone/mood -onomatopoeia -simile/ metaphor poetry -dialect -personification -alliteration -rhythm -hyperbole

  2. Note time . Only take notes on what’s new or FUZZY.

  3. What is the structure/organization? • Stanzas: “paragraphs” • Lines: “rows” • T/F: They must be sentences.

  4. What exactly is imagery? -IMAGERY • word pictures visualize! • Sensory details, 5 senses: 1. See 2. Hear 3. Smell 4. Taste 5. Feel (not feelings)

  5. Imagery Sometimes an image helps us imagine that we • hear a sound • smell an odor • feel a texture • or even taste something

  6. Imagery Think-Write-Pair share: What sensory details does the following excerpt contain? Out on the land White Moon shines.Shines and glimmers against gnarled shadows,All silver to slow twisted shadowsFalling across the long road that runs from the house. from “Baby Face” by Carl Sandburg Out on the land White Moon shines.Shines and glimmers against gnarled shadows,All silver to slow twisted shadowsFalling across the long road that runs from the house. from “Baby Face” by Carl Sandburg

  7. Allusion • Famous reference • Ex: from history, Bible, geography, or religion, pop culture… • Who do you think you are, trying to fight the school bully? Superman? • Harriet Tubman was called the Moses of her time. • She had Aphrodite’s charm.

  8. Figurative Language • What is a simile -Comparing 2 unlike things using “like” or “as”. Ex: “He was as tall as the highest tree.” Ex: “Her beauty was like a sun setting over the beach.” No: She’s like her sister. • What is a metaphor-implied comparison between very different things w/o like or as. Can be direct or implied . Ex. “He’s a tank, coach!” Ex. “Her mind is a calculator.” (which is implied?)

  9. Metaphors: X Is Y direct metaphor = directly compares two things by using a verb such as is. This computer is a dinosaur. The computer isn’t really a dinosaur, but it is old and out of date like one. =

  10. Metaphors: X Is Y implied metaphor implies/suggests a comparison between two things (rather than stating the comparison directly). Gabi stared at me with venomous eyes and hissed out her reply. Gabi stared at me with venomous eyes and hissed out her reply. Gabi is being compared to a snake, as these words imply. With what is Gabi being compared?

  11. Personification • Giving human qualities to inanimate objects/animals. • EX1: During the test, the clock laughed at me. • EX2: Love smiled at me warmly and filled his heart with her soft voice.

  12. Personification Given human hands and the ability to caress, the season of spring is personified. • a type of metaphor • *What’s being personified below? How? Spring caresses the earth with her warm, delicate hands. Spring caresses the earth with her warm, delicate hands.

  13. Types of RHYME • End:rhyming at the end of a line • Internal:2 words in the same line • Approximate:(Half, Slant, Forced) ex: orange and porridge ex: mind and time

  14. End: • Internal: • Approximate:

  15. Rhythm? musical quality based on repetition. the beat you hear when you read a poem

  16. Alliteration • Repeatinginitialconsonant sounds in neighboring words. (paraphrase) Ex: -Sally searched for seashells on the seashore. Which is better? 1. Betty purchased some butter. 2. Betty bought a batch of butter.

  17. Assonance • repetition of vowel sounds (not consonant sounds) in neighboring words. Ex: The cat in the hat sat down on the mat.

  18. What is Onomatopoeia? • imitates the sound it represents. • Ex: woof, bang, clank, buzz, zap

  19. An exaggeration or overstatement. EX: • I feel as big as a house. • You’re killing me! • I’m going to kill myself if I fail this test!

  20. Dialect: Howdy, ya’ll! • a socially distinct variety of a language • Not standard language • EX: Crikey! Look at that, mate! • Write another example (maybe not from U.S.)

  21. The BATTLE: Tone vs. Mood • ___ is feeling in reader; ___ is writer’s attitude. • Imagine reader’s voice: sad? happy? angry? • Below: What’s the tone + mood? Ex1: Today, the rain refreshed the flowers Bringing new life to the world. Ex2: Yesterday, the rain battered my windows. Shattering glass upon the flowers.
