Evaluating Poetry: 3 types of Verse

Welcome to your second blog post! Follow the steps below in order.

1. In addition to evaluation poetry based on the 3 questions we discussed yesterday, we also have to evaluate it for what it is and is meant to be (after all this is a part of purpose). What I mean by "what it is meant to be" is the type of poem it is that includes form (what we have discussed already) and verse (what we will research today.
2. Define verse for poetry do enough research so that you fully understand this term.
3. There are 3 different types of verse we will look into: didactic, sentimental, and rhetorical. Take notes in your notebook on the 3 types use this prezi to help, or other sources listed here for more information.

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/resources/learning/glossary-terms/detail/didactic-poetry
4. Find an example of each type of verse, explain the function the verse plays in the evaluation of each poem. This should like 3 different poems (with source included) and a brief explanation 2-3 sentences for each poem as to how the verse contributes to the purpose/function of the poem. 
5. Connect yesterday to today: how does the type of verse contribute to the level of merit of a poem? This poem is based upon the information you gathered today and yesterday. Use evidence to support your opinion. 
*You can read  critics/poets opinion on the topic here: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/articles/detail/68755
6. Read through 2 of your peer's posts. Any additional information they have and you missed add to your own notes. then respond to their answer to task #5. Feel free to respectively disagree, and push each other's thinking on the evaluation of poetry. 
 

Invisible Man Socratic Seminar 21-23 cont.

Here are some questions I thought could continue the discussion from Friday, however feel free to pose other questions and reply to each other's comments.

1. Discuss the narrator’s “eulogy” for Tod Clifton.  What were the most significant, or poignant, parts of the speech? In what way did Clifton’s death act as a catalyst for a major shift in the narrator’s life?
2. Discuss the different character's view on race relations and how to promote the agenda of equality. Which do you think will be most effective, why?
3. Make connections to our society today, what is the next step in terms of fighting the inequity in our country? What do you think Invisible Man would do today?


Resources: Here are some links to ways you can get involved now as a catalyst for change in your community, but also on a more national level. Let me know if you have any questions or want more information.
