4. Your Narrative Poems (Due Friday) Poem requirements: write 3 or more poems of 15 lines or more each (so 45+ total lines) counts as a formative assessment grade based on MYP Rubric (C: Producing Text / D: Using Language) Structure of 3 poems: 1 st poem = introduction of character, setting, and conflict 2 nd poem = development of conflict (i.e. rising action and climax) 3 rd poem = conclusion and illustration of the theme (i.e. falling action and resolution) Additionally, students need to include the following: 5 literary elements of the 6 below: Plot Conflict Setting Point of View Character Theme 2 craft tools of the 3 below or others: Variation in Rhythm (caesura, enjambment, etc. ) Imagery Figurative Language

5. Rhythm Notes from Yesterday Rhythm is created by creating lines with (approximately) the same number of syllables. 4 Ways to play with rhythm: Use Caesura: a visible break or pause within a line of poetry Use Enjambment: when a phrase or sentence in one line continues into the next line Use a Change in Rhythm/Line Length for Emphasis Use Repetition

6. Figurative Language Review Types of figurative language: Simile: comparison using “like” or “as” Metaphor: comparison where one thing is the other Personification: human-like qualities for an object/animal Hyperbole: over-exaggeration Onomatopoeia: sound noises Alliteration: repetition of the same sound at the beginning of words Internal rhyme: 2+ rhyming words within a line Now, take a few minutes to revise your poems for figurative language.

7. Writer’s Workshop Expectations Respect the community of writers. Be willing to share your writing. Be prepared to revise your work repeatedly. Focus on the positives when giving feedback. Ask questions and give suggestions instead of giving negative feedback.

8. Tips for Workshopping Questions to think about: What did I like best about this paper? What would I like to know more about? What stands out? What is confusing? When asking questions or giving suggestions for a short story, consider: Do the poems have a clear conflict.? Does this conflict drive the plot? Do the poems have clear character development? Is the point of view clear/consistent in the poems? Is the theme of the poems clear?

9. Practice Workshop Group with Miss Garlock As you listen to my poems, write down: Positives Questions Suggestions or Possible Changes In pairs, read each other’s poems and write one positive (+), one question (?), and one suggestion/possible change (Δ) under your partner’s poems in colored pen. Repeat with a second partner. You need to have a completed, revised draft of all 3 poems (on loose leaf paper) by the end of class tomorrow.
