After we completed addressing edits to Marcel's Dickens research paper, we reviewed that portion of the SAT prep writing practice test we previously had not discussed. We examined parallel construction, proper pronoun usage, superfluous language, and proper sentence placement within a paragraph. We then began our poetry unit by defining and reviewing literary terms such as lyric poetry, narrative poetry, rhyme scheme, figurative language etc. followed by an analysis of Wordsworth's poem , "I wondered lonely as a cloud." Using the poetry analysis checklist I provided, we addressed how to write an analysis of a poem: 1. Identify type of poem 2. Identify speaker 3. Paraphrase 4. Discuss figurative language and structure and 5. Discuss theme or observation the poet is conveying . I provided instruction on Wordsworth as an English Romantic poet emphasizing the significance of Nature and the imagination in Wordsworth's poetry. We then analyzed. the poem using the above structure as well as Wordsworth's"The World is Too Much With Us". For homework read assigned poems for Wed. and prepare two analyses .
