AGENDA

• Discuss Motorcycle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility.• What do you think? Did you read more? Do you think you

might like this for a literature circle.

• Literature Circle A – presentations on Monday• Literature Circle B (Starts week 10)• I think it is important that we use books that you are

interested in; therefore, we might not use all of them that have been introduced.

• Today we will watch part of “Bless Me Ultima.” Watching this may give you a better idea of whether you would like to use this book.

• Reading a Poem • “I am Joaquin” poem – forum discussion

READING POETRY

• Let your emotions guide you into the poem• Do any images or phrases call up a strong

emotional response?• If so, try to puzzle out why those passages

seem so emotionally loaded.• What is the poem’s tone?

READING POETRY

• Determine what is literally happening in the poem.• Separate literal language from figurative or

symbolic language can be one of the trickiest – and most essential – tasks in poetic interpretation. Begin by working out the literal. • Who is speaking in the poem? • To whom? • Under what circumstances? What happens in the

poem?

Page 5: English 112 How to Read/Write a Poem

ASK WHAT IT ALL ADDS UP TO

• Once you’ve pinned down the literal action of the poem, it’s time to take a leap into the figurative.• What is the significance of the poem?• Address symbolism, figures of speech, and any language

that means one thing literally but suggests something else.

CONSIDER THE POEM’S SHAPE

• …on the page, and the way it sounds.• What patterns do you notice?• Are the lines long, short, or a mixture of both?• How do these elements contribute to the poem’s effect?• (this is one of the questions for the forum)
