Seven poets... seven writing styles... six classes that examine everything from alliteration to onomatopoeia! This is a self-paced class, meaning the class relies on pre-recorded videos. However, I love interacting with my students through the online classroom and messaging system! I always send feedback (often via video) about student poems. Additionally, students will also have a weekly question or topic for discussion. Over six lessons, students will access my videos that present, analyze, and discuss the poems of six of America's most beloved poets: Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, ee cummings, Langston Hughes, and Maya Angelou. Each video will begin with a brief biography of the poet, along with a discussion of placement in American history and links to other poets (did you know that Poe engaged in what he called his "Little Longfellow War"? Or that Whitman once worked for Samuel Clemens -- otherwise known as Mark Twain?). We will then read and analyze various poems by each author. Students can expect to leave class with an understanding of how to annotate poems for form and literary devices, as well as how to analyze a poet in light of its author's life story.

más de 6 semanasLección 1:
Lesson 1: Edgar Allan Poe
All about Poe! Do you know what NFL team named its mascot in his honor? We'll discuss this and more in an overview that examines Poe's life and early death, including his famous marriage to his cousin and the poem he composed based on her death. Poe is a mastermind of musical literary devices, so our focus in this class will be on identifying his use of alliteration, consonance, assonance, and onomatopoeia. The homework will be to annotate a Poe poem and to compose their own poem.
Lección 2:
Lesson 2: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
We'll switch gears from Poe to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. What did the two men have in common (besides writing, of course)? We will look at how Longfellow writes with structure, and how perhaps this structure is reflected in his approach to life and the messages he presents in his poems. For homework, students will be asked to annotate a Longfellow poem and to compose their own using a rhyme scheme.
Lección 3:
Lesson 3: Emily Dickinson
Time for Emily Dickinson, the Belle of Amherst! What is startling and different about her poetry? What "rules" does it break -- and what rules did Emily break? We will look at Dickinson's fascination with nature... and with death, and we'll read her odd, heartbreaking, and lovely poems with an eye on what she is trying to say. The homework will be to annotate a Dickinson poem and to create a poem that breaks all rules.
Lección 4:
Lesson 4: Robert Frost
Robert Frost is often thought of as a simple New England writer, but his life shows a darkness that becomes evident in his poetry. We will read numerous poems that bring out this dark side, but that also tie in with nature, and we will examine just why Frost is so well-loved. The homework will be to annotate a Frost poem and to compose a simple poem inspired by nature.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Licenciatura desde University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
My passion -- as well as my professional background -- is writing. Professionally, I hold B.A.s in Journalism and French Literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I've been published in numerous newspapers and magazines. I've also taught writing and literature classes to students of all ages and abilities. Poetry is a special love of mine; since falling for the English Romantics in college, I have delved deep into the poetic world and found a passionate belief that poetry allows all of us -- professional poets and young students alike -- to express ideas and emotions in a way that is impossible in regular text.
