WEDNESDAY

POETRY STUDY

  • Assignment (complete these steps in order): 


      1. You should have already completed a 1-2-3 analysis for "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop. Now make additional notes on the following:
      • the purpose of metaphors
      • characterization/ pov of the speaker
      • structure of the poem
      • contrasts
      • key words / diction and why they are significant
      • how shift affects the poem
      2. Work out a clear thesis statement for this AP essay prompt and write it on the blank side of a notecard:

       Write an essay that supports a defensible claim about how the poet uses techniques to develop the speaker's attitude toward loss in "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop.

      3. Trade cards with someone and write one piece of evidence that could support the claim on the back. Add a sentence that explains the support. Put your name next to your contribution.

      4. Trade cards another time and read the thesis carefully. Add a new piece of evidence on the back of the new card along with your explanation of how it connects to the thesis. Add your name.

      5. Return the card to the person who wrote the thesis.

      6. Read through the ideas on your card. Make sure your name is on the front and there is a name for each piece of support on the back. Turn in the card.


**If you were absent, complete #1 and 2 above then write the support ideas on the back of your own notecard.
