  2. Yr 11 Poetry - Relationships • Use the resources and activities here to develop your understanding of poetry and our focus of relationships. • This resource is to develop your understanding of Pablo Neruda’s ‘ A Song of Despair’ and William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 and how imagery and visual representation effect the meaning of the texts.

  3. ‘A Song of Despair’ Word Cloud Word choice is an important and effective poetic techniques employed by Neruda Examine the word cloud created from the poem ‘A Song of Despair’. What are the main concerns of the poem as represented in the word cloud? Which words create the strongest visual images for you? Make a list of 5 of these words and a brief description of their effect.

  4. Neruda uses symbols and metaphors to represent the relationship that he is exploring. Use these images and ones you find yourself to create a pictorial representation of ‘A song of Despair’ Present the images to the class for discussion.

  5. Sonnet 116 • Listen to the reading of Sonnet 116 that explores two visual and oral representations of the text. • Consider the relationship between the reading of Sonnet 116 and the creation of meaning for the audience. • Experiment with reading of this sonnet to emphasise ONE aspect of the themes or concerns explored. Present your reading to the class with a short (1 minute) explanation of what aspect you chosewhat effect you wanted it to have on your audience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt7OynPUIY8&feature=related

  6. Figurative Language Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else,you are using figurative language.  Identify the figurative language that Shakespeare uses in this Sonnet. Create a new text using modern images and language to convey the meaning intended by Shakespeare. Be bold and experimental !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom.   If this be error and upon me proved,   I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
