  2. ESSAY MATERIALS TO HAND IN • Please hand in the following items in this order. YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT STAPLING THEM TOGETHER • Final Draft- If yours is on Google Drive, that’s fine. I told you that you did not need to print it out. • Editing Worksheet • Rough Draft • Brainstorming Worksheet

  3. Fly Swatter Game • You will be divided into two teams. • One player from each team will come up to the board and will be given a fly swatter. I will then read a statement or question. • You will try and find the answer to my question that fastest and hit it with your flyswatter. • The first time to hit the correct word will receive a point. • The team with the most points at the end will receive one point of extra credit on their test. • Your team can lose points by misbehaving or being disruptive. If you do not behave appropriately you will sit outside and review silently by yourself for the rest of the hour.

  4. One of the questions on your test will require you to determine what a poem means. I gave you a list of steps to follow when reading a poem and we have done this as a class and in your essays. What are some of the steps that I suggested that you do in order to understand what a poem means?

  5. Look at the title. Ask yourself what this poem could be about based on this and make predictions. • Number the lines of the poem. This will help you if you discussing a poem with others and need to reference a specific line. It can sometimes also help you determine what form of poem you are reading. • Read the poem once without making any notes. The preferred method for reading poetry is reading it aloud. • Read the poem again. Highlight any unfamiliar words, figurative language, or words that are repeated. • Paraphrase each line in the poem. In other words, restate each line of the poem in your own words. • Summarize what the poem is about in your own words. • Determine the poem's tone or the poet’s attitude towards his or her subject. • Ask yourself why you think that poet chose to write this poem. Determine the purpose of the poem.
