Upon the 50th Anniversary Performance of Dances at a Gathering

Love jetés onto the stage, and it pirouettes
and pliés and simply walks.

And we are all at the gathering now,
because love does not care if we arrive
singly, or in pairs or threes, if we return
to 5 th Avenue townhouses or crowded 5 th floor walk-ups.

It just cares that we show up, and that we are
in it: first-blush romance, or one-night-stand,
or a 50 th anniversary jubilee.

The dancers remind us love is the furious push
and pull of Chopin's mazurkas, their feet flying
through échappés and bourrées.

And it is the slow étude, the notes
as alone and wistful as the Girl in Lilac,
who waits for her lover to return, though she knows he won't.

What does return, when the dancers are finally still,
is this present night, which will soon dissolve
into memory, but which has wrapped us, for now, in wonder.

English verse is accentual-syllabic in that is based both on rhythm and on the number of syllables per line contrary to French poetry which is merely syllabic. Rhythm is based on metre, that is to say on the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in the lines, its study is called prosody.

UNDERSTANDING POETRY

WORKING GROUP

FRAMAPAD class

Lien sur le padlet

1. THE UNKNOWN

When working through a poem, you may come across words, phrases, or even entire sentences that you aren't familiar with. But in order to fully understand the poem and its deeper meaning, you will need to familiarize yourself with those words, phrases and sentences.In this station, you will be uncovering " the unknown ". Work through your poem by following the checklist below:

Think about the poet's diction (or word choice). Why would the poet choose to use one specific word and not another? Could there have been a specific purpose there? Indicate this on the poem.

Circle or underline words you are unfamiliar with. Use a dictionary or thesaurus to find the definition of or synonym for these words - write the definition or synonym above or next to the word in your poem. This should be done for every word you do not know

Use your knowledge of figurative language to your advantage. Find and identify ALL instances of figurative language in the poem, such as: simile, metaphor, personification, etc...

As you identify the use of figurative language and note that in the margins of your poem, elaborate by explaining what you believe the poet meant by including that specific instance of figurative language.

2. THE RETELLING

In order to understand a poem in-depth, sometimes the best thing to do is rewrite what we DO understand using our own words. In this station, you will be spending time working through the poem, line by line, re-writing each line or stanza. Follow the instructions below to help you do this effectively:

First, read the poem without writing anything on it.

Then, read through the poem line by line and stanza by stanza, retelling it as best as you can.

When you retell the poem, you don't necessarily need to rewrite every line, but you should rewrite every stanza at least. However, there certainly will be lines that you will need to rewrite in order for it to make sense.

See how far you can push the poem - think outside the box. Ask yourself the following questions to help you come up with your own questions.

Is this poem really just what it seems to be about?

Is the poet making a larger social commentary here?

What might have influenced the poet to write this poem?

Now that you've started thinking about each of these questions, come up with three questions of your own that directly relate to the poem.

Identify a significant topic in the poem.

Use the sentence stem: " The author believes... " and explain what the author believes about the topic you chose. The statement should not be specific to the text, but rather reflect a more universal truth, without being too vague.

Cross out " the author believes, " and you are left with a thematic statement.

Now that you have developed your thematic statement, choose a line from the poem that truly exemplifies the theme - highlight it. Then answer the following questions on your poem.

Who is the person " telling "?

Does the poem shed any light on who the speaker might be(i.e, age, personality, point of view, etc.) ?

Does the speaker seem interested in what they are sharing in the poem or indifferent? How might that play into your understanding of the poem?

Finally, let's get to the tone. The tone is the writer's attitude toward the subject of the poem or the audience for the poem. Tone can also be the general emotion of the poem.

Pick one adjective that encompasses the overall tone of the poem. Then, write one sentence that incorporates that adjective and explains why it represents the overall tone of the poem.

Does the title provide you with any clues about the poem?

How does the title relate to the poem, its theme, and its message?

Does the title make yo think about the poem or view it differently?

What deeper meaning does this line hold?

What larger social commentary might this line be trying to point out?

Write these questions at the bottom of the poem.

Then, answer each of these questions using evidence from the poem to support your reasoning.

You should be writing your retelling directly on the poem, itself (in the margins, next to or above each line, ect...)

If you get stuck on a line or a stanza that you can't understand, skip it and come back to it once you've finished the rest of the poem. Oftentimes, doing this will help you deduce what the poet may have been saying in the line or stanza that initially caused you confusion.

3. THE QUESTIONING

This is where you get to push the envelope just a bit and play devil's advocate. Questioning the poet and the poet's purpose allows you to study the poem through a different lens. You just might find you'll discover something fascinating you wouldn't have normally considered had you not questioned the poet. Utilize this checklist to help you question the poet in an effective and academic way:

4. THE THEME

Let's get to the heart of the poem by identifying the theme. Usually, the theme of a poem will relate to a universal truth that recurs throughout the poem and it's the central idea. Literary themes often present a message and can be identified and written as a complete sentence. Use the steps below to help you identify the theme and write a thematic statement about the poem. You may wish to write the thematic statement you create at the top of your poem.

5. THE UNNOTICED

We're going to focus on three important aspects of the poem that can sometimes go unnoticed. Those are: the title, the speaker, and the tone. Use the questions below to guide you as you work through each of these three aspects and answer them on the poem.First, take a look at the title of the poem and answer the following questions:

Next, let's chat about the speaker. Understanding who the speaker is has an impact on your overall interpretation of the poem. Answer the following questions to get to know the speaker.

Lesson 1 - On the go method poetry analysis

# data[].attributes.body
Now that we have experienced the in-depths analysis of a poem, let me just handle you a methodology copy which will be a useful reminder of what we've undertaken in our activity.

# data[].attributes.body
Students tend to skim through poetry because they do not really get the meaning of it and they think from the start that anyway they will not get it. Which is wrong...! A multiple-deeper reading and a research for pre-established clues will help you get through the poem every time!

We will use the following method:

We will draw checkboxes right next to the title- e.g: IR checkboxes: ☐mode and tone; ☐main idea(s); ☐literary devices

We will proceed to three readings

The first one will be focused on defining the mode and tone

The second will be focused on defining the main ideas or the theme

The third will be focused on highlighting the figures of speech

If needed you can use a code of color to separate your three research!

Let's have a try together, check this presentation out!

lesson 2Poetry recitation

reciting is not memorizing

Why not memorize? Memorization tends to give a canned quality to a speech. In the case of reciting a poem, a canned quality would be exactly the opposite of the desired outcome. The goal is not delivering information, but finding the music in the language and structure. Instead of memorizing, students should practice their poem so they generally know what's coming next, while still having their poem in hand to guide them. Memorizing the beginning or ending of poem-with inflection-can help with smooth delivery for these important parts, plus with solid eye contact.

VS

Students do not need to memorize their poem. In fact, they should be discouraged from memorizing the poem. Instead, they should be strongly prepared, with the text of the poem to guide them. They may even mark up their poem to remind them of places they want to emphasize-to speed up, slow down, and pause.

why read a poem out loud?

Experience the rhythm and sound choices

Helps to hear the language, word choices

Consider where emphasis is appropriate

Draws attention to the line breaks and punctuation more

Poems are generally meant to be read aloud.

A little methodology

Body language should be relaxed and comfortable. Gestures may be used for emphasis. Subtle gestures or movements are acceptable. Don't stand stiff and don't be distracting with wild gestures.

Read in a normal, relaxed, slow voice. Do not rush through your poem. Make sure that all words are clearly articulated.

Be prepared. Read the poem repeatedly. Take time to note mentally or on your poem copy key points that should be emphasized.

Use the dictionary to look up pronunciation of unknown words along with meaning (online dictionaries with audio pronunciations are great for this.) Be comfortable with the pronunciation of all words so you do not stumble when the time comes.

Use eye contact. You may refer to your poem copy, but be prepared enough that eye contact is made regularly and consistently. It should not appear that you are reading your poem word-for-word.

Show understanding of the poem in the handling of punctuation and line breaks. Use volume, pacing, and pauses for emphasis and effect where appropriate.

A little help can be found in the "Videos of English Poetry" section of your padlet! - Just check how it is done.

Activity

Make sure to prepare before you record or present.

Read clearly and accurately

Use pacing, volume, tone, and pitch effectively.

Stand naturally and use good eye contact

Requirements:

Choose a poem to read out loud in a dramatic reading.

Lesson 3Figures of speech

Write a subtitle here

Definition

LET'S DANCE!

The figure of speech is a form of expression used to convey meaning or heighten effect, often by comparing or identifying one thing with another that has a meaning or connotation familiar to the reader or listener. An integral part of language, figures of speech are found in oral literatures as well as in polished poetry and prose and in everyday speech. Common figures of speech include simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, irony, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and puns.

Activity

Include line numbers!

Arrange the examples using bullet points and/ or shapes with text

Final Slide: Reflect and write answers to the following questions:

Which device is used most? And least?

Which one surprised you?

Which has the greatest impact on the poem? And the least?

LET'S GO!

such as with PowerPoint or Prezi - Individual or group project

Identify minimum of five (5) poetic devices used in the poem

Each poetic device has its own slide

Find examples of each poetic device from the beginning, middle and end of the poem

Minimum two examples per poetic device

It is expected that your slides will be full (you may use additional slides if needed)

Create a presentation,

1. Alliteration—repeating an initial sound several words in row  “Tall trees trembled”

2. Allusion—reference to another text, an event, or place.  Sometimes used for affect or to make a comparison.  The reader then makes the connection.

3. Analogy—a device used in making a comparison between two objects.  Often used to compare a new object to an existing one, so the reader understands the new one by understanding how it is similar or different to the reference object.

4. Assonance—repeating the vowel sound of a word to make an internal rhyme in a word or phrase.  “Quite like.”

5. Connotation—a meaning of a word that goes beyond the dictionary meaning.  Skinny has a negative connotation that thin does not.

6. Couplet—a pair of rhymed lines in a poem.  Sonnets and other poems use couplets.

7. Denotation—the dictionary definition of a word.

8. Enjambment—a type of poem where the lines run on to the next line rather than ending with a complete grammatical or logical line.

9. Figurative language—language that conveys meaning beyond the literal definition of the words.  Includes analogies, metaphor or simile, imagery, and hyperbole.

10. Free verse—poetry without regular meter or rhyme

11. Hyperbole—language that includes exaggeration for effect.

12. Imagery—descriptions and descriptive words that provide a mental picture of a scene, setting, or character.  May include other forms of figurative language for effect.  Sense words are common.

13. Lyric poem—a type of poem that is short, concise, but full of feeling.

14. Metaphor—a comparison between unlike things that does not use “like” or “as.”

15. Meter—the pattern of rhythmic accents in a poem

16. Mood—feeling or atmosphere of a scene or story.  May be conveyed with imagery, language, or characters.

17. Narrative poem—a poem that tells a story

18. Onomatopoeia—words that imitate sounds.  Buzz, clunk, ring are examples.

19. Personification—giving human traits to non-human or inanimate objects.  Animals and objects can be personified.

20. Rhyme Scheme—refers to the pattern of end rhyme in a poem.

21. Rhyme—matching final vowel or final sound in two or more words.  Can be internal or end rhyme.

22. Simile—a comparison of unlike things, using like or as.

23. Slant Rhyme—a rhyme that does not match exactly.  Used for effect or may be related to differences in dialect.  “Rain/ again” is a slant rhyme.

24. Stanza—a division or unit of a poem.  One stanza may follow the same pattern as others, or it may be different.  Stanza can break up or group a poem the way that paragraphs break up or group ideas in prose.

25. Symbol—an object or item in a story that stands for something else, often an abstract concept.  A dove representing peace is a symbol.

26. Theme—a main idea of a literary work, as conveyed in the events or characters.

Poem comparison project

start

Lesson 4

What things might you look for when comparing two pieces of text?

Content: In your own words, what is each text saying?

Similarities: How are these texts similar, connected or related?

How are they alike, whether in terms of subject matter, theme, purpose, tone, etc.?

What specific lines and details echo each other or connect?

So.. focus on the parallelism and differences

use terms such as: SIMILARITY, PARALLELISM, OPPOSITION, DIFFERENCE, verbs COMPENSATE, COUNTER, SOFTEN...

Try to differenciate the literary devices, the figures of speech

1. FOCUS on comparison. Make sure to compare a minimum of three points and include a thesis.

LESSON 5

An emphasis on storytelling

Non-linear story structure

Mythological elements sometimes

Internal characterization

Narrative poetry

The narrative poem is a form of poetry that is used to tell a story. The poet combines elements of storytelling-like plot, setting, and characters-with elements of poetry, such as form, meter, rhyme, and poetic devices.

+ info

The main point of this training is all in all to identify the poem's theme and sucess into appropriating it to yourself.

Creative writing activity

Write a narrative based off the poem. Match the theme of the poem in the overall theme of the narrative. Plus include any characters, events, or key lines from the poem into your narrative as appropriate. The story needs to be a complete story, with conflict and resolution. Do NOT write a poem or verse-this activity is about writing a narrative.

This exploratory narrative game has a free education version designed for a 15-30 minute independent or class co-play learning sessions for middle and high school students. The game begins in the summer of 1984 when Thoreau moved to Walden Pond, and the objective is to play slowly and deliberately learning to survive alone in the woods. This is a perfect way to teach students about self-reliance and simplicity.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Is Walden an educational game?
Not strictly, no, but the game is rich with content that makes it a great educational experience. The lessons in our curriculum guide will give students background to better understand the video game Walden and to maximize what they learn from playing it. Through the lessons they learn more about the life of Henry David Thoreau, the times in which he lived, and the legacy of environmentalism that he inspired.

What does the curriculum guide include?
The curriculum guide includes lessons that are appropriate for English Language Arts, History, Social Studies, Visual Arts, Science (particularly environmental science), and other lessons that bridge the sciences and the humanities. Download the guide here. The specific lessons in the guide are listed below.

Lesson 1: Playing a Serious Game (Media Literacy)

Lesson 2: Henry David Thoreau: A Life in Context (United States History, Environmental Science)

Lesson 3: The Hudson River Painters (Visual Arts, Art History)

Lesson 4: Modern Writing about Nature (English Language Arts)

Lesson 5: A Wild Lens: Learning to Record Nature (Science, Language Arts, Art, Math)

We also have supporting material for Lesson 3: The Hudson River Painters here, and screenshots for teacher to use here.

Where can I find the curriculum guide?
The curriculum guide is available for download here. It was created by our partners at Journeys in Film, a leader in educational resources that uses rich media such as films and games as the basis for curriculum that improves educational outcomes. Journeys in Film is a nonprofit organization working in partnership with USC's Rossier School of Education. Authors of the Walden, a game curriculum guide are: Kate Fitzgerald, Mary Anne Kovacs, Lara Tukarski, Laura Zlatos. Special thanks to Joanne Ashe, Martine McDonald, Eileen Mattingly and Nancy Saiz for their help in making this curriculum guide possible.

How much will the game cost?
Nothing! We are offering educators complimentary evaluation licenses of the PC and Mac version game. Just contact Walden Support and tell us about yourself and the class you are interested in using it for. We'll send you a special link for use in your classroom. You can request your complimentary copy from Walden support.

If you're interested in large-group licensing, let us know your plans and we can help find the best solution for you. We have deeply discounted group licenses and student licenses available.

What hardware/software does my classroom need to play?
The game works on either Windows PC's or Macintosh computers, but requires a 3D graphics card and adequate memory. For specific hardware requirements and instructions for install, read our FAQ here. It is not available for mobile, tablets or Chromebooks. It is available for PlayStation 4, but we are only able to give complimentary versions of the Windows and Mac versions.

Can my students save their in-game journals?
Yes! Thanks to the generous work of one of our players, Atul Varma, players can now save out their in-game journals. Just download and unzip the journal extractor tool. The zip file contains versions of the tool for Mac and PC. Unzip the package and open it on the computer that has the save game from which you want to extract the journal. The tool will locate all the save games on that computer and allow you select the one you want and copy its journal out to various formats including Word, PDF and HTML.

I need help with something else!
