Today’s Goal: Continue to analyze poems to discover deeper levels of meaning. Outcomes: Name and define two main poetic genres (general types of poetry). Name and define these terms frequently used in analyzing poetry: Stated theme, implied theme, symbol/symbolism, chronological sequence. Identify the use of stated themes, implied themes, symbolism, and chronological sequence in particular poems. Identify examples of narrative poetry. Identify examples of lyrical poetry.

Starter #1: Today we are going to continue to play detective.  We will use the clues we find in each poem to help us discern what each one means.   Let’s have line leaders get our poetry booklets while we take out our recent handout, “Meaning of Poems.” As we read these poems, keep in mind the concepts we learned from our Cornell Notes. We will use those as tools to help us find clues that unlock the meaning of each poem.
