Poetic techniques What are they? Why are they used? What are they telling us?

Aims and objectives ► The objective of this lesson is to recap on the techniques used in poetry ► The aim is you will be able to : ► list poetic techniques ► define what they are ► identify poetic techniques in an unseen poem ► understand their effect within a poem

Techniques ► There are many techniques used in poetry and you will be introduced to many of them throughout your school career. ► For this unit of work you will need to be able to identify metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, word choice and alliteration. ► They work independently but also together to relate the theme of the poem and the message of the poet.

Metaphor ► Many people think metaphors are impossible to identify – they just don’t ‘get it’ but we all use metaphors all of the time. ► Our everyday speech and conversations are littered with metaphors you just don’t realise it. Copy this definition into your jotter: ► A metaphor is when we say one thing is another thing. another thing. How do they work? ► Metaphors are very good at creating pictures (images) in our mind about what the person or thing looks like.

Examples ► Mr Green in Biology is a devil.’ ► Write a sentence explaining what kind of person you think Mr Green is? ‘ ► the corridors at lunch time are a war zone’ ► What do the corridors and a war zone have in common? ► ‘I hate my friend; she is such a cat’ ► Why is she a cat? ► In your jotter come up with 2 metaphors of your own. ► Write them down and then write one or two sentences explaining why they are effective at creating an image.

Simile ► As with metaphors, similes are used to create images in our mind – to help us picture the scene. ► DEFINITION: ► A simile is when we compare one thing to another using ‘like’ or ‘as’ Examples ► Her smile lit up her face like a beautiful dawn ► The motorbike roared like thunder ► David’s face was as white as a sheet ► In your jotter come up with 2 more (interesting) examples

Alliteration ► Alliteration is a technique that is very easy to spot in a poem ► DEFINITION: ► Alliteration is a pattern of sound with the first letter(s) repeated. ► The effect of alliteration is to speed up or slow down the tempo of the poem – of course it also creates images like all techniques. ► Example: ► Slippery snake, clever clues, purple purses & terrible twos.

Your turn! ► In your jotter – no creating this time – look at the following examples and decide if they speed up or slow down the tempo of the line. ► “men marched asleep” ► “The soldiers slowly slunk through the sludge” ► “the sentry made a sweeping search of his surroundings”

Onomatopoeia ► This is a great poetic technique used to recreate sounds from within the poem ► They help place the reader in the poem to imagine – not in images so much – but in sound effects ► DEFINITION: ► Words that describe a sound ► E.g. ‘bang’, ‘crash’, ‘knock’ etc

Recap ► Today you have revised: ► Metaphor ► Simile ► Alliteration ► Onomatopoeia ► Their effects

Your turn! ► We are going to study a First World War poem at the end of this revision lesson. ► What do you know about WWI? In Pairs: ► In your jotter write down anything you know about the war. ► dates, information, battles…
