For your Poetry Journal… (write underneath the last entry) 4/13/10 Review: What are a poet’s goals? What are a poet’s techniques? Rewrite these sentences to be positive: You’re fired! That dress makes you look fat. She dumped her boyfriend. Rewrite these sentences to be negative: I get sad when it rains. She wears only vintage clothes.

DENOTATION: dictionary definition of a word CONNOTATION: the unspoken emotional connections that go along with a word

economical thrifty stingy cheap frugal

In your group: Rank each set of words from most positive to most negative 1=most positive Highest # = most negative

edge out beat swamp overrun defeat

vain conceited self-confident cocky arrogant

TONE The attitude of the speaker towards the subject If you misinterpret the tone, then you will misinterpret the meaning

change in tone = change in meaning A: You’re late! B: I know, I couldn’t help it. A: I understand. B: I knew you would.

Tone Formula: IMAGERY + DICTION + SYNTAX = TONE

IMAGERY (relating to the 5 senses: sight, taste, touch, sound, hearing) What are the central (most important images?) What smaller images does the writer use? Any Patterns? Contrasts? Positives/Negatives?

DICTION (word choice – easy to remember if you remember the word dictionary) Where are there words with positive or negative connotations? What are the key words in the passage? Repeated words? Unexpected words? Inappropriate words? What emotions are attached to the words?

SYNTAX (grammar and sentence structure) Punctuation marks Length of sentences Important conjunctions Types of sentences (question, command) Order of sentences

Shifts in Tone A good writer rarely uses only one tone. Often, a change in tone is a key to the meaning of the poem. Look for breaks between stanzas, punctuation Diction or imagery changes Sharp contrasts
