1. Bell Ringer: Quizlet.live Literary Device Review

2. Start on TPCASTT "On Returning to the Front after Leave." Annotate your responses on the poem. Type your final answers in the Google Doc provided in Google Classroom. You should type all your answers in the document using standard American English sentence form.

   1. Number the lines on your poem (handout)

   2. On your Google Doc assignment sheet, in a complete sentences write what you think the poem will be about based on the title (before you read it).

   3. Then work through the poem paraphrasing of the poem. It helps to identify the sentences, as they are complete ideas. When you have paraphrased the entire poem, make your three sentence paraphrase clear and be sure it includes all of the details. 

   4. Connotation is the next step. On the back of the poem there is a guide for things to look for and literary devices you may not be as familiar with that you can look for. 

      1. 1. Form = Sonnet

         2. Diction--> for this poem it is a good idea to look at each word individually (NOT in context) and determine if the word typically has a positive connotation or a negative connotation. Ex. joyful is typically considered a positive word; whereas, coward is typically considered a negative word. Some words are neutral. They can be ignored for this exercise. Ex. blue or thin might have a positive or negative connotation in context, but the words themselves are pretty neutral.

         3. Look for other literary or sound devices in the poem, like we did with "Dulce" at the start of the unit. 

         4. Once you have completed the connotation ideas, determine which help contribute to the meaning of the poem and how. This is similar to the exercise we did with the literary devices in chapters 4-5. Record only the diction (word choices), literary and sound devices, and other elements that contribute to the meaning of the poem on your green sheet. Use complete sentences. There is a sentence frame on the form to help you be sure you are including all the necessary information for each.

3. Continue working through the TPCASTT using the text on the document to annotate your poem. When you have what you think is a good answer, be sure your recorded response on the document is clear and makes sense. Be sure you are proofreading it.
