This afternoon, let's take a look at SECTION 2 (41-58) of the collection "Pictures That Storm Inside My Head."
Let's start with "Beware This Poem" by Ishmael Reed, pp. 57-58
As we read this section, collect words, phrases, subjects, or ideas from the poems you hear and write them down on the word spill page. You may use this technique later when brainstorming an idea for a poem of your own.
Brainstorming is the FIRST STEP in the WRITING PROCESS.
Some Key Vocabulary to remember:
Theme: the main topic (idea) or subject of discourse in a written work or speech.
Speaker: the persona or character writing the poem--this is not usually the writer. The writer is the REAL person writing the piece, but an author may use a PERSONA or mask, who is a fictional speaker from whose POV we receive information.
Setting: The location, time, season or weather patterns in a poem, play, or story.
Class/Homework: Work on MODULE 0 and the assignments for those lessons on our E-learning site.
