Latin Roots QUIZ

Good luck!

First Poetry Reading

Today we read William Butler Yeats' poem, The Stolen Child.

Here is the text here.

Here is a "creepy" video that I found on youtube which is kind of interesting.


Please be ready to finish discussing it tomorrow. Also make sure that you all are studying for the Latin Roots quiz tomorrow.

Here is the process for reading poetry in an academic manner.

1. Title Analysis


2. Read poem aloud


3. Scan and define unfamiliar words


4. Reread and summarize


5. Analyze literary quality of poem




• Characters


• Setting


• Conflicts


• Main Idea


• Theme


• Author's Purpose




6. Analyze Literary Elements




• Metaphors


• Similes


• Imagery


• Diction


• Personification

More to come tomorrow.

Introduction to Poetry Outline

Today we opened up our Literature books to page 923, which begins the poetry unit, to help us make a thorough outline as a foundation for reading some great personal, historical, and interesting poetry. Please refer to the previous posts for information on how to construct a successful outline.

Moreover, know that you will be judged on the following criteria:

• Coverage




1. Did you unclude all the terms in the unit(it isn't as many as you think.)




• Format




1. Did you follow the proper spacing and character sets previously modeled?




• Quality




1. Did you thoroughly define, explain, and give examples for all the terms in your outline or the unit(it isn't as many as you think.)

Also, if you checked the website you are in luck, for you now know that the Latin Roots quiz will be postponed until Friday! Aren't you lucky!

Here is the example from the board.

Introduction to Poetry Outline

1. Types of Poetry




1. Haiku




1. Structure




1. 5-7-5 syllable structure


2. 3 line poem


3. Rhyming is not necessary


4. Mentions/addresses nature




2. Japanese Origin




2. Limerick




1. Structure




1. 8-8-5-6-8 syllable structure


2. 5 line poem


3. Rhyme scheme is A-A-B-B-A


4. Humorous tone




2. Irish origin

You should repeat this process for sonnets. We will continue to add to this list and create a very solid foundation for this poetry unit.

Examples of Sonnets and breakdowns

Outline Format

How can outlines help me personally and academically?

Today, I showed/reminded you all how to create an outline and the manner in which they should be organized.

We started out by creating New Year's or New Semester resolutions.

One student said that she wanted to pass all her classes and that she could accomplish this by doing the following:

• Be on time to class


• Turn in work on time


• Try my best on all assignments


• Don't get put in ISS or written up

We put this into an outline by first grouping the first two items into the common category of time.
OUTLINE FORMAT

TITLE

1. Main Category




1. Sub-Category




1. Specifics




1. Fine Details




1. Micro-points

SMALL SAMPLE OUTLINE

NEW SEMESTER GOALS

1. Pass all my classes




1. Handle my business on time




1. Be on time to class




1. Don't talk in the hallway


2. Don't lollygag in the hallway


3. Be ready to work when the third bell rings




2. Turn in work on time




1. Start my work ASAP


2. Use my time wisely


3. Setup a schedule or to do list for organization

Other outline help can be found here.
The full outline is due tomorrow where it will be used in our introductory discussion of poetry.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE SLANTING FORMAT. IF YOUR OUTLINE DOES NOT SLANT, THEN IT IS MOST LIKELY WRONG...
