The poetry packet is coming to its conclusion, which means its time to put all of these poetical feet, stanzas, sound devices, and terms into action with Shakespeare. I probably have mentioned another poetry style, the aubade, in passing, as it is not the most noted poem for the AP test. Here is a little sample and background of aubades: https://literarydevices.net/aubade/.
2: We began the hour looking at 4 types of poems - each of which we can identify by looking at its structure and not its content - Italian/Petrarchan Sonnet, Shakespearian Sonnet, Spenserian Sonnet, and the Villanelle. I mentioned in fourth hour that whenever I take a poetry test and have to identify the types of poems, I always look for the aforementioned four as the rhyme scheme or the stanza length will lead you in the proper direction. With the packet out of the way. we moved into Shakespeare by insulting one another! Hopefully, you will use your new knowledge of insults in the appropriate times! For homework, you need to finish the crossword puzzle in the Shakespeare packet.
4: We started with dramatic monologue and its performance and then moved into all of the the same stuff as second hour. For homework, you are crafting the perfect insult and then finishing the crossword puzzle.
7: We most likely will not be fully finished with the poetry packet, so that shall occur tomorrow. Today's class revolved on the less-controversial interpretations of elegies, dramatic monologues, and sonnets. We are setting up for Shakespeare work, so I hope you will be ready to find that iambic pentameter and gallop!
