“Poetry can communicate before it is understood” T.S. Elliot introduction 1. Wat zou deze uitspraak te betekenen hebben? Overleg in je groep en noteer de antwoorden hier (je hoeft het niet met elkaar eens te zijn, maar let erop dat iedereen een mening weergeeft): ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………...……………………………………………………………………………….… 2. Listen to the poem your teacher is reading out to you. Try to concentrate while listening. "A Red, Red Rose" by Robert Burns O my Luve’s like a red, red rose That’s newly sprung in June: O my Luve’s like the melodie That’s sweetly play’d in tune! As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry: Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun; I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve, And fare thee weel a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho’ it were ten thousand mile. 3. Kijk weer naar vraag 1. Wat denk je nù dat Elliot bedoelt?

Is this poetry ? Some say it is, some say it isn’t. What do you think? Try to write down together with your group what poetry is. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………...……………………………………………………………….……….2 There is a lot to poetry that we don’t know about. We know now there’s rhyme, and you have probably heard of the rhythm, and metre, in a poem. The sound of a poem plays a very important role. It all helps to bring across a message. The form is just one of those. 5. What does “poem after the 3rd World War” mean, you think? ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. The best way to prove that the form may help to understand and remember a poem, is to show you some nursery rhymes (verses for little children): Hickory, dickory, dock, The mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, The mouse ran down, Hickory, dickory, dock 6. Again, you’ll find end rhyme and alliteration. If you read this poem aloud, you’ll notice that some syllables are emphasised or stressed. Read the poem aloud with your group, and work out which syllable is stressed. Rewrite the poem, and underline each stressed syllable. ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………….. The combination of stressed and unstressed syllables in one line of a poem, is called metre. Types of poetry There are many types of poetry, each “invented” in a particular era (= tijdperk), or created with a special purpose: - Mother Goose Rhymes: Many different forms of verse, included in traditional nursery rhymes, some set to music. Limericks: Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme.; Lines 3 and 4 rhyme. There was an old man named Tim and he was very slim He had no clue of what should he do so he changed his name to Jim Lesplan poetry – 1.doc by Mr Reasonable 2002 © - - Free Verse: Lacks rhyme and has less predictable rhythm. Concrete Poetry: Words and phrases are arranged on paper to capture and extend the meaning. Each line should be a complete unit of thought. Cinquain : Syllabic verse form. Gradually increasing number of syllables in each line until the last line, which returns to two syllables. First Line: 2 syllables One word, giving title. Second Line: 4 syllables Two words, describing title. Third Line: 6 syllables Three words, expressing action. Fourth Line: 8 syllables Four words, expressing a feeling. Fifth Line: 2 syllables Another word for the title. Winter cool air snow falls down briskly children frolic across the yard, happiness can be found in winter - Ballads: Ballads are narrative poetry [tells a story] set to music. Couplet: A pair of lines of poetry that are usually rhymed. Shakespearean sonnet; poem of fourteen lines: three quatrains and a couplet: ababcdcdefefgg Petrarchan sonnet; poem of fourteen lines: octave and sextet abbaabba cdecde - And many, many more.

After you have written a rough draft for each, choose the one you like the best and write a final draft of the poem on the white paper. Decorate your poem in any way you choose. Poem 1 [create title…] poem 2: “This is just to say As the [noun] climbed [over/on/under/in] the [top/center/bottom of] I have [verb] the [noun(s)] That [were/was] [in/out/on] the [noun] the [noun] First the [……….] [……….] [adverb] then the [……….] stepped [……….] into the [……….] of the [adjective] [noun] Lesplan poetry – 1.doc and which you were probably saving for [……….] Forgive me [it/they was/were] [adjective] so [adjective] and so [adjective] by Mr Reasonable 2002 © 7.

In the poem above, phrases and words are underlined. Write your own poem, changing the underlined portion to words of your own. You must keep the same structure and phrases as in the original poem! For example, the line It is a moon (noun) wrapped (verb) in brown paper (prepositional phrase), should keep the same basic structure. It could be changed in this way (the gift is a car): It is a cheetah (noun) running (verb) after its prey (prepositional phrase).

Lesplan poetry – 1.doc by Mr Reasonable 2002 © Docenten pagina bij lesplan poetry–1.doc 1 Probeer hier zaken naar voren te krijgen als alliteration, (end)rhyme, prosody, etc, ook al worden deze zaken niet als zodanig benoemd. 2 Het verschil met prose moet in die zin duidelijk worden, dat poetry een manier is om een boodschap over te brengen, net zoals prose dat is. Echter, vaak wordt bij poetry meer aandacht aan vorm (alliteration, (end)rhyme, prosody, etc) besteed. Als u tijd over hebt, kunt u één van de onderstaande websites gebruiken om de volgende activiteit uit te voeren: Read any original poem with students and discuss the meaning and/or structure of the poem. Allow them time to do this in groups first. http://falcon.jmu.edu/~ramseyil/poeform.htm http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/poetic-terms.html http://www.awesomelibrary.org/ http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/5165/pages/lessons2.html http://www.poetryexpress.org/ http://ericir.syr.edu/cgibin/printlessons.cgi/Virtual/Lessons/Language_Arts/Writing/WCP0200.html http://home.att.net/%7Eteaching/langarts/friendsh.pdf http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/5165/pages/bingoplan.html These websites were also used to complete this lessonplan.
