This slideshow will also introduce key terminology, including meter, verse, and stanza. Finally, this lesson will scaffold the process of reading and interpreting poetry using a provided poem.
Students will then complete the elements of poetry vocabulary activity, which will introduce 16 different poetic elements and forms. They will be prompted to find a formal definition for each poetic form and to paraphrase this definition to solidify their understanding. They will also be prompted to find an example to demonstrate each form.
The elements of poetry in this lesson include:
- Blank Verse
