my Notes
Working from the Text
Your teacher will assign your group one of the poems to study and read aloud. In your group, analyze the poem you have been assigned for its use of vocabulary, diction, punctuation, and musical devices. Mark the text to prepare an oral interpretation, and practice reading the poem out loud. Make sure to take detailed notes during the discussion; you will be responsible for reading and teaching this poem to a new group.
12. In your jigsaw group, listen as others present their oral interpretations.
Take notes (focusing on the writer’s use of language), and ask questions for clarification when you need more information or a different explanation. When it is your turn to speak, present your poem and oral interpretation. Be sure to make eye contact and speak with appropriate volume and rate.
Check Your Understanding
Select a poem (or set of poems) you listened to, and explain how listening to the oral interpretation affected your understanding of the ideas and emotions in the poem. Be sure to use precise language to explain your response.
WRITING to SOURCES Expository Writing Prompt: Select two poems
and compare and contrast the writers’ use of language (vocabulary, diction, punctuation) and of poetic musical devices. What effect do the poets achieve through their language choices? Be sure to:
• Start with a topic sentence that explains the effect of the poems’ language and poetic musical devices.
• Use examples of specific language from each of the poems.
• Use the specific literary terminology you have learned in this activity.
