Day 5 Poetry

Do Now: Why do poets use rhythm and rhyme in their work?

Today's Learning Target: 
I will be able to define rhythm and rhyme and explain how poets use these devices.
I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can explain in my own words the difference between rhythm and rhyme.
-I can make a claim about why poets use rhythm and rhyme in general, and why John Updike uses rhythm and rhyme in his poem "The Mosquito." 

Agenda:

1. Rhythm and rhyme
2. "The Mosquito"
3. Exit ticket: how is the speaker different from the poet? How can we determine who the speaker is?

HW: read and annotate "To Be of Use" by Marge Piercy and label at least three examples of poetry terms she uses in the piece
