This month's poetry packet focuses on the art of scansion. Scansion is essentially the separation of poetry into measurable units in order to understand rhythmic patterns.
Your task:
1.) Read over chapter 25 of Bedford's Introduction to Literature on "Patterns of Rhythm" (your packet), annotating and highlighting new information.
2.) Analyze any poem of your choice from the packet and comment on how the rhythmic patterns develop the poet's tone or theme.
3.) Comment on another's posting. Did they discover something you hadn't thought of? Can you add something new to their analysis?
EXPECTATION: 2 posts per student
DUE DATE FOR POSTS: 4/1 @ 12 A.M.
