We began our poetry unit today by creating and defining an analytical vocabulary . In this regard, we defined and discussed: rhyme, end rhyme ,internal rhyme, rhythm, meter, scansion ,foot, imagery, figurative language, and symbols. I provided examples of how rhyme and rhythm can contribute to a poem's meaning. We then explored the possible purposes of a poem: to evoke a feeling to ,make an observation, or perhaps to convey a theme or idea. Last, addressed how to read a poem by explaining poetic enjambment.
