Remember on Monday you are having your interpretation assessment. Please review your feedback on your practice and all class notes on interpretations and devices to help you prepare for this task.
Please watch and take notes on the Syntax slide show available here. Remember, I usually talk about this in class, so I am expecting you will come to class with questions or things about syntax that you don't understand.
Then, from the section of syntax reading posted previously, select one poem to read carefully for syntax. Write one analytical unit on a turn-in-able piece of paper that analyzes the author's use of syntax. See below for a break down of what this analytical unit will be like. Your analytical unit will probably be about 1/2 of a page in length and look like a little paragraph.
Analytical unit:
Where is the example: provide a quotation (if possible) or make an larger observation about the type of syntax being used.
What: name the syntax or be descriptive about the syntax being use.
(note: your where and your what steps may be done in the same sentence)
How: Describe the effects of this use. How is it affecting emphasis, pacing, mood, tone, etc.
Why: why are the "how" effects important for creating meaning and connecting to interp elements of your poem.
