Lyrics & Odes

Oh, dear poetry packet, how you are teaching us how to break down a poem in meter, in enjambment, in figurative language, in the multitude of interpretations for a Shelley poem (figures). The start was the lyric with our Burns' "A Red, Red Rose" followed by Arnold's "Dover Beach" and the end was the ode with Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind." We had a great deal of participation today - forced and volunteered - so as with any day of work, you would need to show the completion of your poetry packet and any close reading notes to attain the credit. Elegy and dramatic monologue (woohoo) next time!
