  3. The Power of Poetry AP = Always Poetry Standard 2: Reading for All Purposes 1.Literary criticism of complex texts requires the use of analysis, interpretive, and evaluative strategies Objective: to use analytical and interpretive strategies to analyze a poem. Relevance: The ability to interpret a variety of texts and cite evidence fosters the coherent thinking, speaking, and writing, which are priority skills for the workplace and postsecondary settings. Essential Questions: What are the forms and conventions of a sonnet? What language do we use when analyzing poetry? How do various techniques effect audience understanding and impact the purpose of a text?

  4. Activity: Obtain Purpose: to prompt prior knowledge and obtain some background information in order to discuss a poem Tasks: As a group, watch the :37 second video preview. Then, read… Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), one of the most famous of English romantic poets, was known for his radical ideas and unconventional lifestyle. Like Frankenstein, which was written by his second wife Mary Shelley, the poem “Ozymandias” was composed in response to a challenge. Shelley and his friend, poet Horace Smith, submitted poems to the The Examiner on the occasion of the statue of the Pharaoh Rameses II being transported from Egypt to London. Shelley’s fourteen-line sonnet appeared in the paper first in January 1818. The imaginative poet invented a traveller and a sculptor’s inscription, evoking the ancient relic’s ruin as a metaphor for the fall of dynasties and the limitations of tyrants.

  5. Activities: Develop Purpose: to analyze a sonnet for poetic devices and structure and to explain how these support the meaning of the work as a whole; to read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it, citing specific evidence to support conclusions drawn from the text. Tasks:https://apps.studysync.com/#!/library/texts/34/synctv • Watch a StudySyncTV (7 minutes). Pay attention to the discussion of the historical context of Shelley's poem and how this context helps us understand the poem's meaning. After listening to the video discussion, use the questions on the handout to prompt thinking and discussion in small groups. Outcome: Prompt - What did you do? What would you change? • In the poem "Ozymandias,” Percy Bysshe Shelley examines such ideas as historical greatness, the lasting impact of political power, as well as art. What do you think he is saying about one of these in this poem? Consider his use of imagery, metaphor, juxtaposition, and irony and how they develop the meaning of the work as a whole. • Use the PIE chart to outline your ideas for a closed thesis and PIE.

  6. Instruction: ObtainI Do – You Do Plus/Delta Did you dissect the prompt? (subject, style/mode, key terms, helpful background) • Poem - “Ozymandias – Percy Bysshe Shelly - meaning of the work as a whole • PIE Chart • 1. imagery 2. metaphor 3. juxtaposition 4. irony • Historical greatness, political power, art – one of these What did you include in you thesis (SAK)? Did you come up with an ASSERTION related to historical greatness, political power, art? • Poem - “Ozymandias – Percy Bysshe Shelly • A cautionary reflection on being too proud - Even the mighty will fall; power is temporary – No one can beat time – Too much pride results in a fall from grace – Time makes power and fame insignificant – Lasting power of words and art – historical greatness is transient • Structure & Perspective - Imagery – Juxtaposition/Irony

  7. Instruction: ObtainI Do – You Do Plus/Delta What Points could you have made? What Illustration ?What Explanations & Elaborations? Structure & Perspective • 1st person narration = 1st two lines = framing devise - Sonnet switches quickly to words of “traveler from antique land” • Distances narrator (poet/artist) from story, reinforcing how king is forgotten & yet distance also could reinforce that art is not forgotten because traveler recounts images Structure & Perspective + Imagery • Travellor shares Images of sculptor – “vast and trunkless legs… desert” – “shattered visage” – “frown… wrinkled lip… sneer … cold command” • Presents negative, barren setting and contemptuous, physical actions of a baseless, ruthless, destroyed statue of the ruler Structure & Perspective • Shift in line 6 to connection of statue to sculptor • “well those passions read” – “yet survive” – “hand that mocked them…heart that fed” • Accurate representation – art still survives – sculptor shows mocking aspect (and destroyed remnants mock ruler) but this negative ruler fed creative need Structure & Perspective + Juxtaposition + Irony • Words of ruler now- “look on my works” - “command” and “King of Kings” • Not his works – inflated vision of power– juxtaposed inflated vision of power to images of desert • “Look upon my words and despair” – Irony – his fearsome power no longer exists; he has no power left; empty words in empty desert • Conclusion - Somber message - only pride remains

  23. Activity: Develop & ApplyYOU Do Plus/Delta Introduction Model 3 Sentence Introduction Sadly, we humans are mere mortals. The anxiety that one feels as he ages and approaches death is expressed in “Sonnet 73” by William Shakespeare. Through a series of metaphors and vivid imagery, the speaker’s pensive comparisons become increasingly more relevant to the ultimate exhortation to be “loved well” before he is gone. • Attention grabbing hook (if time) • Dramatic situation • Universal/enduring understanding • Closed thesis

  24. Student Sample 1A Introductory Paragraph • Introduce subject (genre, “title,” author) – action verb – general statement of point of view (narrator questions, alter ego answers) • Explains narrator voice (timid) vs. alter ego’s (forms prospect of life) • Thesis: • Address prompt: form (sonnet w/ addendums) • Address prompt: literary devices (symbols, juxtaposition, imagery) • Address prompt: meaning (form+ lit devices = important to take “leaps” in life) • How did you do? Identify what you have, and note what you don’t!

  25. Student Sample 1A Continued Body Paragraph 1 Point (form enhances understanding) • Explains (voice = people’s fears/insecurities about the future) • Elaborates (sharing this = reader attachment) • Illustration of form/structure (1-word addendums that rhymes to last word of each line) • Explains (provides immediate answers to questions) • Elaborates (mono-rhymic = memorable, touching for reader) • Illustration of form/structure (1st quatrain, general questions = starting a life from blank) • Explains (title=sonnet created by “echo” providing answers) • Elaborates (“empty page” = metaphor for voice) • Explains (illustration of inquiry words, answered only by 1 word = stronger impact) • Illustrates (first question, answers “start”) • Explains (meaning = the most important thing is to take the first step) • Additional illustration (juxtaposition of joy & grief) • Explains (shows echo’s sincerity) • Elaborates (not just blindly coaxing, instead giving real answers) • Additional illustration (art and “leaf” = synecdoche for nature) • Explains (provides consolation/relief to ailing heart) • How did you do? • Identify what you have, and note what you don’t!

  26. Activity: Develop & ApplyYOU Do Plus/Delta Conclusion Model 3 Sentence Conclusion Through “Sonnet 73”, Shakespeare structures a progression of vivid metaphors to show the ravages of time on one’s physical being as well as presenting the mental anguish one may feel as he moves from youth closer to death. The realization that life will not be as cyclical in nature as the first and second quatrains seem to suggest, brings our speaker to acknowledge his listener’s awareness of his demise and conclude that not only should he be loved before he is gone but also that the listener's youth will, too, leave him in the future. Through “Sonnet 73,” Shakespeare shares advice and a reality that we should all heed. • Connect to the opening ideas – Restate thesis or main idea – • End with something for the reader to consider or to make the reader think

  27. Student Sample 1A Continued Body Paragraph 2 • Point (structure transition, 2nd quatrain = naturalistic symbols) • Illustrates/Explains (life of leaf = visual imagery; final fate is death) • Explains • Elaborates • Illustrates • Explains meaning Continue through the rest of the essay & really note what is done in the final paragraph (the conclusion) Outcome: How did you do? What do you need to continue to do? What do you need to work on?

  28. Activities: Develop We Do Purpose: to prepare for the post-assessment by examining previous analysis • Content/Ideas • Style/Structure • Personal Pluses/Deltas Tasks: • Examine previous assessments: pre-assessment timed writing , 1st poetry timed assessment (models available) • Review previous writing reflections (plus/delta, goals, scores, etc.) OUTCOME: What are two POSITIVES to make sure you rock this assessment?
