Using the poetry checklist/outline format I provided, Aiden worked on rewriting his homework analysis of Frost's "Stopping by a Woods ." As he is having some difficulty with a format analysis , I placed sentences on the board as models and demonstrated how to construct the analysis. We then discussed and reviewed the critical elements: identify the speaker, identify figurative language, identify literal and figurative meaning. I also reviewed the definition of imagery and together we studied the poem to identify visual and auditory imagery. Last, I helped Aiden clarify the metaphorical meaning of the poem as well as the literal meaning. We then briefly studied "The Road not Taken" also by Frost. We will continue working on crafting a paragraph of poetic analysis after the break.
