What will the prompt look like?
Which tense should I write in? The answer is......PRESENT!
Quoting Poetry
If the piece of poetry you are quoting crosses multiple lines of the poem itself, you may still type them in your text run together. Show the reader where the poem's line breaks fall by using slash marks.
In his poem, "Mending Wall," Robert Frost writes:
"Something there is that doesn't love a wall,/ that send the
frozen-ground-swell under it" (42-44).
In his poem "Mending Wall," Robert Frost questions the building of barriers and walls:
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense. (45-47)
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offense. (45-47)
The Directions and the Prompt
- You will be given two poems.
- Read both. As you read, consider how the author creates meaning through the elements within the text.
- Consider the areas you might want to examine to find EVIDENCE to support your interpretation or thesis. For example:
- evidence such as facts or direct wording
- stylistic or persuasive elements such as word choice or appeals to emotion to add power to the ideas expressed.
- structural features such as punctuation or rhyme schemes/structures
- poetic devices

Paragraph Structure
Topic Sentences
|
T: The topic sentences lets the reader know what your subject is and what you are going to prove. Never use "I" or talk about the essay/paragraph in this sentence. Always include a key word that correlates to the list in your thesis.
|
Introduce Evidence
|
I: After the topic sentence, you should introduce the context of your evidence (or quote).
|
Evidence
(this could be a quote
or logical reasoning)
|
E: In a Literary Response essay this is the quote that demonstrates your point.
|
Discuss (aka commentary)
|
D: You must discuss how the evidence is important in proving your assertion from the thesis. Always button up your evidence on the thesis...never let your evidence speak for itself.
|
To incorporate more evidence, repeat the IED portions...TIEDIED or for a large body paragraph TIEDIEDIED. Extra Discussion sentences are good too.
If time, let's discuss J10 and write a couple of practice thesis statements.
HOMEWORK:
- Bring paper and a pen or pencil.
- Bring your journal.
