Conquering the Poetry Essay Question (Thematic Focus)

Time Management Given time: 40 minutes 1-3 minutes to work the prompt 5 minutes to read and annotate the poem with purpose About 10 minutes to pre-write 20 minutes to write the essay 2-3 minutes to proofread

What To Do When... Working the prompt: Circle key words and identify synonyms for them. This way, you know exactly what to look for as you read poem. Annotating the poem: Think of the message the poet is trying to convey and why the poet is writing about that particular subject. Identify literary elements that you would want to include in your essay and think of how they are important to the poem as a whole. IMPORTANT: Underline or circle lines that you could quote in your essay. These quotes serve to support your ideas in your essay. Preparing to write: Compose an outline or graphic organizer of some sort. This allows you to organize your thoughts so that you can write them down in essay format later on. Use your annotations to plan your writing as well.

You Will Be Expected To... ...Compare and contrast two poems. If this is the case, the poems would usually be on a similar subject and you would have to write about their commonalities and differences. You would also have to discuss how each poet approaches their subject and how they use poetic devices similarly or differently. ...Choose literary elements and clearly explain how the poet uses them to get a message across the readers and how these literary elements are important to the poem as a whole. You are NOT restricted to the suggested literary elements.

Remember To... Look at the entirety of the poem. Don't just focus on one stanza or one line. Show how things like literary elements and poetic devices contribute to the poem as a whole. Explain why the poet has chosen to utilize certain literary elements in their poem.

AVOID... ...Using first-person pronouns such as I, me, you, we and us. Instead, use words like 'the reader' or 'readers'. ...Being vague. Be clear and straightforward in your essay. ...Digressing from the topic. Remember to stay on topic in your essay at all times.
