This class is taught in English.
Students will increase their knowledge of literary terms and poetic devices through discussing poems and the lives of poets from around the world. Students will learn to parse a poem and share their knowledge of themes and meanings as derived from their readings. Students will learn to cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the poet says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the poem. Students will determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the poem, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including words with multiple meanings or language that is particularly fresh, engaging, or beautiful.
