Here are our tasks for today:
- Copy your poem into your notebook - yes, by hand - make sure you are able to read it. Write it a little bigger and a little clearer than you usually write.
- Read your poem aloud
- Examine your poem
- Put a box around words you need to define
- Mark natural breaks - word, line, sentence
- See Nate Marshall's "god made the hundreds, man made it wild" for an example of the role of breaks
- Highlight words / phrases - center of gravity for each break
- Notebook reflection:
- What did the work we did today with this poem – thinking about it, writing it out by hand, speaking and hearing it, looking at the language – help you see and understand about this poem?
- How do you understand it better or differently
- What do you see or feel in this poem that you had not before you came to class today?
