Have paper and pen ready. monday, 20 August 2018 AP Literature and Composition Mr. sanders TODAY’S OBJECTIVE: TO ANALYZE AND UNDERSTAND HOW LANGUAGE AND STRUCTURE ARE USED FOR EFFECT.

B E L W O R K

SUCCESS CRITERIA I can… Analyze how language and structure are used for effect. Explore the poet’s purpose and viewpoint. Make appropriate connections between the poem and my experiences through discussion and creation of an original poem. 5

Your Response Copy this quote: “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” -- Maya Angelou Then, copy this prompt and write your response: What is a challenge you have faced, and how were you changed by your response to the challenge?

Pair and Share Pair up with one other person, and share your response to the prompt. Listen respectfully, and respond appropriately.

An Essential Question What factors influence the kind of person that an individual becomes?

Speaking of Overcoming Challenges… Poet, Singer, Author, Dancer, Activist Maya Angelou

Preparing for the Task *Over the next few days, we will focus on questions of identity as we read articles about Maya Angelou, and one of her poems, “Still I Rise,” and we apply its message to our own lives. *We will focus on how Angelou overcame hardship and discrimination to find her own voice and to influence others to believe in themselves and use their voices for positive change.

Agreements *People are formed by their experiences and environment. *Experiences—including struggles and obstacles a person has had to confront—help determine the kind of individual he or she becomes. * Environment (such as family, friends, cultural identity, and gender) also plays an important role in a person’s development. * Writers use figurative language and imagery to make surprising connections, add depth to a literary piece, and to create a deeper, more meaningful experience for the reader.

Understanding Figurative Language Any time your writing goes beyond the actual meanings of your words, you’re using figurative language. This allows the reader to gain new insights into your work. Examples of Figurative Language

Group Summary Each group will have an article to read relating to adversity and people’s reactions to adversity. Read the article, then write a four- or five-sentence summary for your group’s article. When everyone is finished, each group will share its’ summary with the rest of the class.

“Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou Maya Angelou delivers her poem "Still I Rise"

“Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou Reread the poem with your partner, then annotate the poem with these questions in mind: Who do you think the speaker/narrator of the poem is? Is it a person? A cultural group? Highlight or underline words or phrases that help you identify the speaker/narrator. How does the speaker/narrator seem to feel about herself?  To whom do you think the poem is directed? Highlight or underline words and phrases that support your answers and share them with your partner. What message is the writer trying to give to the person or group to which she is writing? Have you ever had to give a similar message to someone? If so, when? What do you believe the poem’s overall theme is? Examples include hopelessness, strength, resiliency, spirit and anger. Write the theme you have identified at the top of the poem. Then draw an arrow to a word or phrase from the poem that supports that theme.

With your partner, find the following: Simile – six examples; explain how each simile adds meaning to the poem Metaphor – two examples; explain how each metaphor adds meaning to the poem Rhetorical Question – four examples; explain what meaning these four questions add Anaphora – one example; what meaning does this use of anaphora add to the poem? Alliteration – one example; how does this sound device affect the poem’s rhythm? Personification – one example; what is being personified? Repetition – one example; what does this repetition emphasize?

Making Connections In what way(s) do you personally connect with this poem? To what “gifts that my ancestors gave” is the author referring? What gifts were you given from ancestors or people in your cultural group who came before you? Which groups, either in society or at our school, are “shot with words,” “cut with eyes” or “killed with hatefulness?” How is this received? What can be done to change it? You are part of many different groups, such as your family, your cultural group, your religious group and your gender group. Share an example of how you have faced adversity as part of one of these groups and if/how you have risen up against it.

Your Turn Refer back to the challenge you wrote about earlier, and how it affected you, or how you overcame the challenge. Using Angelou’s poem “Still I Rise” as a model: Create an original poem of five stanzas (four four-lined stanzas and one stanza using a thrice-repeated phrase) from your challenge and response. Bring to class with you tomorrow.
