Transcription de la présentation

  1. You only have 2 minutes What is a hyperbole? Answer the following questions What is the proper MLA header? • What is a • metaphor  What is a theme? What is a simile? Who wrote Romeo and Juliet?

  2. Read the following lines: Choose the aid you are more likely to remember later • Buy at Joe’s Tiles for all your remodeling needs. • You’re sure to get smiles when you buy from Joe’s Tiles

  3. Please think carefully • You are in debt. You have two children to support and have recently taken out a mortgage. You’re boss calls you into his office to tell you, you are fired. Which way is the more appropriate way for him to tell you: • Option 1: I know you just bought a home and this is sure to make you sad. I wish I could have just told you by phone but then I realized that would be just as bad. You are fired and you’ll get no more pay. Eh, all this talk is making me tired be gone by the end of the day. Option 2: First, we want to thank you for your years of service here at the company. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, we will have to let you go. We wish you the best and will call you if your job becomes available again. Please let us know if we can be of any other assistance. Again, thank you for your hard work and time.

  4. Relevancy • The structure and form we used to communicate or deliver information impacts the reader significantly. • This is why it is important to learn about poetry meter and form, as well as any other literary structure. In the business world, and in life, we have to choose the best method of delivering information.

  5. Poetry Forms and Meters English 10 CP

  6. Iambic Pentameter • Each grouping of an unstressed and stressed syllable is called a “foot” • When you have five of these “feet” you have Iambic Pentameter • Iambic Pentameter is used in a lot of classic poetry

  7. How do I detect Iambic Pentameter? • Think of the sounds of the word tick-TOCK • TOCK is clearly the syllable that is stressed. • Exercise: I need at least four LOUD volume volunteers, and four SOFT volume volunteers. • We will read a poem together. If you are loud, say you’re assigned word loudly. If you are soft volume, read it normally.

  8. Fixed Verse

  9. Fixed Verse • Fixed Verse poems follow a blueprint or type that has been established by tradition. For instance they perhaps come in the form of a Sonnet, which must be 14 lines. • Think of these types of poems akin to a builder who uses a blueprint. He or she would use a model or plan to make sure that what he or she creates follows a preformed template.

  10. Blank Verse • Does not rhyme • Still uses Iambic Pentameter

  11. Free Reverse

  12. Free Verse • Does not follow any fixed pattern, meter, or rhyme scheme • If we think of fixed verse as a builder following a blue print, free verse is a painter freely swinging his or her brush against a canvas to see where his or her imagination goes. • Much more “chaotic”
