4th grade poem comparison structural element focus - By Heidi Weber

Transcript


00:01	So we're going to start working on this goal where
00:05	we're looking at differences between poems in particular . Of
00:10	course , we can recognize that poems use a different
00:14	structure . We've learned that they're arranged in lines and
00:21	stands us versus paragraphs and sentences . Now we're gonna
00:28	look at some common structural elements of poems in particular
00:32	, and how we can refer to these elements in
00:35	a poem when we're talking about how they are different
00:39	. So let's get started . So one of the
00:44	first lessons that we did in our comprehension notebooks back
00:49	in third grade was we worked with elements of poetry
00:53	and I gave you some of these terms . We
00:56	talked about different types of figurative language . I know
01:01	that we thought about making images and what's great about
01:04	poems is poems often do this for us . They
01:07	invoke the sense of being able to actually feel like
01:13	we're drawn in rhyme in this sound when we read
01:19	a poem is also pretty important here . Now here's
01:24	something that's interesting for you to take a look at
01:28	. Some homes do have patterns , and we know
01:31	that they rhyme . We have the idea of a
01:34	couple . It were two rhyming lines are together ,
01:39	or even a triplet , where there might be three
01:41	rhyming lines and a sequence . So one of the
01:44	first things I wanna ask you to dio is Take
01:47	a look at the two poems that I gave you
01:49	. I gave you The Sentinel's creed , and then
01:57	I also gave you the vigil . One of those
02:01	two poems has rhyming couplets . Pause now and see
02:09	if you can figure out which one has rhyming couplets
02:16	. I also had to add this information into your
02:21	notebook , um , personification , being a specific type
02:25	of figurative language that's fun to work with . The
02:30	idea of Asan it's and Constance are advanced concepts ,
02:34	and I'm not going to go into these , but
02:37	it might be something fun for you to explore independently
02:41	. We are , however , going to take a
02:43	look at the idea of a rhythm when we get
02:45	a pattern that's being creative . And one of these
02:50	two homes in particular , has some strong and weak
02:54	syllables in it . You've learned about Cilla vacation ,
02:59	and so we're going to take a look at which
03:02	poem has rhythm to it . It's kind of like
03:06	it has a beat . I believe I even talk
03:09	to you about how I feel like I bounce when
03:12	I read it Or say it This'll is gonna get
03:14	us moving into an idea of metrical forms . Pause
03:20	for a second to make sure you can identify which
03:22	poem you think might have some rhythm . Now ,
03:27	these air some other elements that you can be aware
03:30	of liberation and on , um on Apia , both
03:32	being examples of different types of figurative language . We
03:36	won't get into that with the poems Sentinels Creator Vigil
03:41	. Um , we will perhaps look for a little
03:43	bit of repetition and particularly as we think about the
03:48	line breaks , um , one of the two poems
03:52	is written in a structure that is very open .
03:58	We call that free verse , that free verse firm
04:03	that then has some interesting ways that groups of words
04:08	or ideas air put together . So that's something also
04:12	that we can explore now , looking at the two
04:17	poems side by side , it is clear that the
04:20	Sentinel's creed is our free verse poem , and it's
04:25	very clear that the vigil is our poem arranged and
04:30	clear , distinct wines and stanzas . But it is
04:33	also the poem that has thes rhyming couplets . So
04:39	those were two ways that we can compare these poems
04:43	. We've already identified the idea of the my and
04:47	the I here making this poem being set in a
04:54	first person point of view interview and then over here
05:01	in the vigil because we're referring to a he in
05:06	hiss thing . We know that this one is written
05:08	in a third person point of view . Those were
05:15	some pretty easy comparisons that we can make just on
05:19	the surface Now if we think about examining the elements
05:25	in the poem those things that I just pointed out
05:28	Yeah , we can also go back Thio , noting
05:31	that , yes , we have one that's in free
05:33	verse in stanzas . But here's where focus is going
05:36	to go now . One of the poems in particular
05:39	, has what we call meter . It's kind of
05:42	like a measurement , and then it measures beats .
05:46	I'm going to explain what that means . In order
05:51	for us to consider the idea of meter , we
05:54	have to look at the idea of syllabic ation or
05:59	look at this syllables . So if I take a
06:02	look at this first line , I have in measured
06:08	steps he makes in rounds . I count 12345678 syllables
06:18	. So his first line has eight syllables . But
06:20	here's where the beat comes in . You notice how
06:23	, when I say each word , or when I
06:26	read each syllable , it's like I put a little
06:28	more stressor , emphasis on it in measured steps he
06:35	makes in rounds . So what I've done here is
06:39	I've identified what we might call a stressed syllable or
06:44	it is said with a little more emphasis . Now
06:48	, if I take a look at thes pairs ,
06:50	I he have , ah stressed on stressed a stressed
06:54	on stressed syllable , a stressed on stressed syllable and
06:58	a stressed on stressed syllable . So each one of
07:02	these is kind of like saying , Oh , here's
07:05	a poetic foot . So how maney feet are in
07:10	this first one , it has 4 ft or the
07:15	meter in this case with the beats four beats ,
07:21	so we could say it has a tetra meter .
07:24	Now keep in mind that this is an extremely advanced
07:28	concept , but it's one that it's fun for us
07:31	to explore . What we can do now is we
07:34	can take a look at some of the other lines
07:37	and see how they compare . So let's say that
07:41	I look at the first line in the first stanza
07:44	. Now I'm gonna come down to the first line
07:47	in the second stanza , he Oops , he responds
07:56	. Not to the viz whips . Missed one .
08:02	This is tricky for me . To this it tors
08:05	stare . So I have that pattern of that stressed
08:09	and on stressed again . And this time , if
08:15	I measure out thes poetic feet , what do I
08:19	get ? I get 12345 And so this time I
08:25	could say it's a pentameter . So just annoy idea
08:29	for us to play with as we're looking at the
08:32	idea of how many syllables and then how maney syllable
08:38	pairs that we have . And so , for these
08:41	pairs again , it's what we call an unstrap est
08:47	and a stressed syllable . As you play with this
08:51	idea , sometimes you might find that a stressed syllable
08:54	comes first and then an unstrung est . So I
09:00	challenge you now to take a look at some of
09:03	the other lines in this poem and see if you
09:06	can figure out perhaps what the meter might be .
09:12	And so now here is the challenge I'm giving you
09:16	in order to meet our goal of being able to
09:19	compare the structure and the elements into different poems .
09:24	I'd like you to compare these poems in at least
09:29	three different ways using some of the information that I
09:33	just gave you . You can compare the idea of
09:37	how one has meter versus that free verse idea .
09:44	You can compare the idea of their point of view
09:49	. You can compare how they're arranged . You can
09:52	look for figurative language . I'd like to see you
09:58	make some notes on three ways that you can compare
10:03	thes two poems using structural elements or some of the
10:14	obvious differences . They're both poems , but they're both
10:20	very different .
