There are different types of Stanzas… We Real Cool We real cool. We Left school. We Lurk late. We Strike straight. We Sing sin. We Thin gin. We Jazz June. We Die soon. What do you think stanzas with two lines are called? They are couplets

Subject- who or what the poem is about Speaker- the imaginary voice assumed by the writer of the poem. It can be a person, animal, thing, or abstraction. Tone- the poet’s attitude towards the subject (ex: sad, angry) Theme- the overall message of the poem

“Nancy” Comes to school dressed in no one cared clothes, Her hands and face Are dirty before the day begins. Always alone But not by choice, With her around No one else fears being teased or ridiculed. We sit across from one another at lunch, Sometimes I think I’m all she’s got. And I am not nearly enough.

Figurative Language -language that expresses ideas or feelings in a fresh way

Metaphor Compares two unlike things without the words “like” or “as” Ex: Minnie may look sweet, but she is a snake.

Simile Compares two unlike things using the words like or as My uncle is like a rooster; he is always up at the crack of dawn.

Personification Language that attributes human qualities to nonhuman things. The alarm danced on the dresser. My computer wasn’t feeling well, so I couldn’t type my paper.

Imagery Language that creates a word picture by using details related to the senses.
