Day 2 Poetry

Do Now:  The English poet Philip Sidney claims that poems should “teach and delight.” What do you think the purpose of poetry is?

Today's Learning Target: 
I will be able to define speaker and situation and apply the definitions to a poem.
I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can describe how the speaker is different from the poet.
-I can explain at least two ways I am able to determine the speaker and situation of a poem.

Agenda:

1. The purposes of poetry
2. Sharing our favorites
