Lesson Topic
Unit 5 poetry
Lesson Outline
We studied how allusion and metaphor function to create meaning by analyzing Sandberg's poem "Fog" and Wordsworth's "The World is too much with Us." In the Wordsworth poem, we discussed how the references to mythological gods serves to contrast modern society's disregard for the spiritual aspects of nature with the reverence for Nature in mythology. In discussing "Fog" Joshua did well noting how the metaphor comparing fog to a cat is also symbolic and conveys how disorientation or depression can silently creep up on a person but just as stealthily evaporate.

Unit 5 poetry
Lesson Outline
We studied how structure conveys meaning by comparing the closed or traditional structure of Frost's "Stopping by a Woods" with Whitman's "I hear America Singing." Joshua did well in recognizing how Whitman's structure creates a flowing unity representing his view of Americans as individuals yet also part of a unified whole. We further noted the use of connotation in Frost's
Stopping by a Woods."

Unit 5 poetry
Lesson Outline
Today we studied how personification and metaphor convey the poet's perspective. We first discussed the extended metaphor used in Frost's "Road not Taken" noting how each stanza employs the metaphor of a road representing how all choices , great and small, reverberate and impact one's life. We then studied Emily Dickenson's use of personification. In class Joshua worked on drafting a thesis and first paragraph describing how personification and mood convey the poet's perspective on death. We worked on revisions to create a defensible literary interpretation.
