Romantic Poetry Project!
Mission: To teach the class a poem from the Romantic period.
Requirements- Your presentation MUST include the following:
-The text of the poem (this must be read aloud via a recording (you tube), group member, or volunteer from the class)
-An analysis of the poem including the following:
· Paraphrase- do this line by line
· Figurative Language/Structure- (simile, metaphor, personification, et cetera as well as things like parallelism and repetition- discuss the purpose behind the figurative language and structure of the poem)
· Poet’s Attitude- How does the poet seem to feel about the issue/topic he/she is writing about?
· Theme- One sentence that describes what the poet thinks about the topic he/she is writing about; themes are universal!!
· Romantic elements- Which does your poem contain?
· An activity to engage the class with your lesson (this can be done at any point, but no word banks or crosswords, please! They are an insult to our intelligence!)
