This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin\u00ae.InstructionsPurpose:\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0This assignment will enable you to discover a poet’s use of poetic devices. You will conduct a close reading of a poem and discuss the poet’s use of these devices in his or her structuring of the form and composing of the content. Applying a close reading and composing a literary\u00a0analysis will prepare you for the many texts that you will read, summarize, and discuss in your future studies and even in the workplace. <\/p>\n
Task:
Choose one of the Poetry Selections from this Unit – you can certainly choose a poem you have already posted about in one of the Unit 2 forums, but you don’t have to.\u00a0 Be sure to consider what you learned from\u00a0Unit 2.1 Discussion – Poem Hypertexts and Semiotics\u00a0and\u00a0Unit 2.2: Authentic Assessment: Poetry Reading and Response Video\u00a0when making this decision.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
You will closely read (and reread) your chosen poem, considering its structural elements, patterns of figurative language, and other literary elements.\u00a0 Bear in mind that, much as we discovered about ads in the advertisement analysis forum, poems are carefully and purposefully crafted–consider that every choice in terms of structure, rhyme (or lack thereof), wording, and tone are deliberate and work to leave an intentional impression on the reader.\u00a0
Use the pages\u00a0Starting Your Poetry Analysis Paper\u00a0and\u00a0the MEAL Plan\u00a0outline to help you plan your paper. Include the following elements:
Introductory paragraph that ends with a sentence that explains what you want to say overall about the poem.\u00a0Ideally, this thesis should focus on the “how” and “why” of the effect of some of these choices. <\/p>\n
Body paragraphs that focus on specific ideas and elements from the poem that provide evidence and support for your overall idea about the poem. Include relevant, brief quotations from the poem,\u00a0integrate them logically and grammatically, and\u00a0indicate the line numbers in parentheses.
A concluding paragraph that sums up what these ideas all add up to. <\/p>\n
Carefully read the example pages that use Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” as an example for explication (Close Reading,\u00a0Sample Analysis\u00a0and\u00a0Key Elements).
Be sure to maintain an appropriate academic tone (no slang, second-person [“you,” “we”], contractions, etc.)

Submit your final paper in the\u00a0Unit 2 Essay: Analysis of a Poem dropbox\u00a0(under “Assignments”). Remember, your instructor will be able to see your Turnitin results – both your similarity percentage and any phrases or language that appear elsewhere, either online or in TurnItIn’s database of prior student work, so ensure that your work is\u00a0scrupulous in its citations and adheres to the standards of academic honesty. No\u00a0secondary sources are needed or encouraged.\u00a0 Plagiarism, as always, will not be tolerated.\u00a0 Please ask if you have any questions about citation or academic honesty. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
