1. Understand the authors purpose for writing the poem with more accuracy and precession
2. Find more symbols in poems
3. Learn how to find the poem's major conceit
4. Be able to find the poem's irony if it has any irony
5. Be able to recognize poetry terms when they are utilized in a poem
In the practice problems I often couldn't determine the author's purpose for writing the poem. When I was reading the poems, I had trouble finding the more complicated symbols. When I was asked to find the poems major conceit I didn't know what to look for. One of the poems had irony in it and I had trouble figuring out what it was. When i was asked to find the use of a poetry term in the poem, I had difficulty determining when it was used.
Not all poems have a "major conceit"--it's more like irony (it might or might not be there.) You have a good list, here.
ReplyDeleteNathan, these are great goals. I also need to recognize more poetry terms and know there meanings.
