Today in class I analyzed a poem. We started with inferring what the poem is going to be about from the title. Next we read the poem twice. Once just to get a feel, the second to try and break the poem down. While reading we identified rhetorical devices. We also defined any words we weren’t familiar with.We made a chart to find the literal an figurative meaning of different parts of the poem. We summarized the poem and found the theme of the poem. Lastly, we made claims based on the poem and supported it with evidence from the poem.
Today was a gloomy day. On gloomy days I tend to drag throughout the day. Multiple times I was tempted to fall asleep. Once getting to your 4th period and seeing the poetry for us to analyze I immediately got discouraged as it isn’t my strong suit. Eventually I gave in to the temptations. I may have missed important information but i’m confident I got the bulk of the lesson. I’m hoping for a more upbeat lesson tomorrow.
