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 in class we finished up our benchmark assessment. We only had to complete our extended response question. We had to write 2-3 paragraphs. I’m confident that I did ok on my test. This was the most challenging part of the test. Only because I don’t know how to make an essay that short.
