5 Activating Strategy What is poetry? What do you know about it? Come up with a list of 5+ things at your table you know about poetry…

6 EQ What makes poetry different than prose (essays, short stories, etc.) writing?

7 Parts of poetry 1. Sound Devices- Parts that sound interesting in poetry (particularly when it is spoken) 2. Figurative Language- Imagery that creates unique meanings in your mind 3. Rhythm/Meter- The rate and speed you say each line

8 Sound Devices 1. Alliteration 2. Consonance/Assonance 3. Onomatopoeia 4. Rhyme

9 1. Alliteration Meaning Example
The repetition of words that start with the same consonant sound Example Some silly students sing sad songs.

10 2. Consonance/Assonance
The loose repetition of consonant sounds at the ends of words or syllables Example All tall mammals have five ways to live or survive Assonance: The repetition of vowel sounds within words, but not the surrounding consonant sounds How is the brown cow bowing down?

11 3. Onomatopoeia Meaning Example
Naming a thing or an action by imitating the sound it makes. Example Woof Boom Hiss Buzz

12 4. Rhyme Exactly the same sounds. Meaning Example
When the sounds that rhyme are exactly the same sounds. Example Hat, cat Free, bee Thinking , linking Bake, cake Frog, hog High, sky Exactly the same sounds.

13 Rhyme Scheme The pattern of end words rhyming with each other is called the rhyme scheme. The first pair of rhyming words is given the letter “A” the next pair is “B”. Roses are Red A Violets are blue B A crayon is stuck to my head A Because I used glue B

14 6. Approximate Rhyme / Slant Slant Rhyme/Approximate Rhyme
Meaning When the words repeat some sounds, but are not exact echoes Example Mean, fine Rate, bet Life, die Beef, streets Sounds are similar, but not exact

15 End Rhyme7. End Rhymes Meaning Example
When the rhymes come at the end of the lines Example Where in this book do you think I should look? Every day I look at the sky. I think of my life and ask myself why.

16 Internal Rhyme8. Internal Rhymes
Meaning Rhymes that occur within a line of poetry Example I set my hat on the mat I was a fool who skipped school

17 Imagery Words that make you visualize, hear, or feel something Juicy red apples hung deliciously on the shady tree.

18 Recognizing Figurative Language
The opposite of literal language is figurative language. Figurative language is language that means more than what it says on the surface. It usually gives us a feeling about its subject. Poets use figurative language almost as frequently as literal language. When you read poetry, you must be conscious of the difference. Otherwise, a poem may make no sense at all.

19 Recognizing Literal Language
“I’ve eaten so much I feel as if I could literally burst!” In this case, the person is not using the word literally in its true meaning. Literal means "exact" or "not exaggerated." By pretending that the statement is not exaggerated, the person stresses how much he has eaten. Literal language is language that means exactly what is said. Most of the time, we use literal language.

20 What is figurative language?
Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language.

21 Figurative Language 1. Simile 2. Metaphor 3. Personification 4. Hyperbole

22 Simile A figure of speech which involves a direct comparison between two unlike things, usually with the words like or as. Example: The muscles on his brawny arms are strong as iron bands.

23 Metaphor A figure of speech which involves an implied comparison between two relatively unlike things using a form of be. The comparison is not announced by like or as. Example: The road was a ribbon wrapped through the dessert.

24 Personification A figure of speech which gives the qualities of a person to an animal, an object, or an idea. Example: “The wind yells while blowing." The wind cannot yell. Only a living thing can yell.

25 Hyperbole An exaggerated statement used to heighten effect. It is not used to mislead the reader, but to emphasize a point. Example: She’s said so on several million occasions.

26 Rhythm Rhythm- The tempo, or pace, of how you speak/perform poem.

27 Meter- How many beats are in each line, and which syllables are stressed/accented
“When Ajax strives some rock's vast weight to throw, the line too labors, and the words move slow;” --Alexander Pope, "An Essay on Criticism“

28 Stanza -A group of lines in poetry -Like a paragraph in prose writing -2 lines together are called “couplets” -4 lines together are called a “quatrain”

29 Review (On your notes) Write the definition in your own words for 1 term from each category!! (3 terms/definitions total) Sound Devices Figurative Language Rhythm/Meter Consonance Rhyme Simile Metaphor Rhythm Assonance Rhyme Scheme Imagery Personification Meter Onomatopoeia Alliteration Hyperbole Stanza

34 Idioms An idiom or idiomatic expression refers to a construction or expression in one language that cannot be matched or directly translated word-for-word in another language. Example: "She has a bee in her bonnet," meaning "she is obsessed," cannot be literally translated into another language word for word.
