Poem Assignment!!!

ok.listen up. it's ok not to always do well in Lit. What really matters is improvement. if you constantly improve someday you're gonna get that A. It just depends on how long but YES you will get there.

im sorry if you didnt do well for the last common test. i know i tried my best, but did you? and i HOPE the answer is YES, you have.

ok. so now's time to get that A you guys. In creating your poem, you MUST:

• write sufficiently on the topic and have ample length
• use Literary Techniques (L.Ts) e.g similies, metaphors, personification, alliteration, repetition, caesura, run-on lines, onomatopoeia...
• in your explanation, explain the EFFECT of the L.T (e.g the use of run-on lines "..." seeks to mimic the fast/ swift motion of the killing of soldiers in the fields... or things like in the similie "like a devil's face sick of sin", the dying soldier's face is compared to something worse than monster as his face is so contorted by war and injury, to say he is a devil has become undermined for he is worse than it. It thus overall creates the effect that war has committed a lot of atrocities and that men have become dehumanized.
• from the above, you can see that sufficient EXPLANATION and its EFFECTS, will give you greater credit.i. e higher marks.
• use KEY WORDS: emphasize, highlight, enforce, stress, suggest, implies, amplifies..
• dont forget to explain why the L.T used is effective. Dont just say "it's good." say why and how it contributes to the overall theme and atmopshere you want to create.
• Point
• Evidence
• Explanation

the above points are just some helpful tips. the onus is on you to be creative! i look forward to marking your wonderful work =)

so Go get that A! This is due tmr as it will be my first lesson.

just a heads up, your next CA will be on PROSE. so you BETTER be paying attention and be diligent from now onwards if you havent. Feel free to clarify. CONSULTATION IS FREE.
