Poetry Unit
TERM: Poetry• Writing that creates an intense imaginative
awareness of experience in language– Words are chosen and arranged to produce a
specific emotional response – Response created through meaning, sound, and
rhythm
Think of Poetry as Painting with Words
Term: Poetic Devices• Strategies that a poet uses to increase the
effectiveness of their poetry.
Term: Figurative Language• Language that is used imaginatively rather than literally,
which can significantly impact the tone, mood and theme of a poem. Figurative language includes one or more figures of speech.
• Figures of speech are literary devices that make unexpected comparisons or change the usual meaning of words.
Figurative Language Continued
• Types of Figurative Language we will focus on:– Simile– Metaphor– Personification– Paradox
Synthesize the notes you just took on Figurative Language
into your own words.(2 Minutes)
Simile• A comparison of two unlike things using the
words like or as.
• EXAMPLES:– “She was as beautiful as a diamond.”
– “She ran like a swift and violent wind.”
Metaphor• A comparison of two unlike things in which no word
of comparison (as or like) is used.
• EXAMPLES:– “The beautiful woman was a diamond amongst dull
stones.”
– “The girl was a violent running wind.”
Synthesize the notes you just took on Simile and Metaphor into your own words.
Create your own example of a simile and then change it into a metaphor by removing the words of
comparison (like or as).
(2 Minutes)
Personification• A literary device in which the author/poet
speaks of or describes an animal, object, or idea as if it were a person
• EXAMPLES:– “The violent wind ran through my bedroom knocking
everything in its path to the floor.”– “The car’s engine sang and purred as it accelerated.”
Synthesize the notes you just took on Personification into your own words.
Create your own example of personification by selecting an object or idea and describing it with
human qualities.
(3 Minutes)
Paradox• A statement, an idea, or a situation that seems
contradictory but actually expresses a truth.• EXAMPLES:– “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”– “Youth is wasted on the young.”– “Don’t ride a bicycle unless you know how.”– “Nobody goes to that restaurant because it is too
crowded.”
Synthesize the notes you just took on Paradox into your own words.
Work with your table partner to create an example of paradox.
