As we begin a mini-poetry unit I would like for you to visit one of the links under the "Links" column on the right-hand side of the page. The top five links are poetry links--only visit those. I would like for you to read through some of the poems on each page. Check them out and spend some time looking around. Finally, find three poems that resonate with you in terms of theme, diction, or tone. In other words, you like the main idea of the poem, the words the poet uses or the general mood of the piece. Please print them out, paste or tape them into your journal and annotate the stanzas. Examining the voice (style, imagery, syntax, tone, and detail). Consider rhetorical devices you have learned in the past: personification, metaphor, simile, rhyme pattern, repetition, etc.
This assignment is due next Friday, October 1st.
