Peg and Brian's RLW Lesson
Overview/Lesson Introduction
Normally when we read, we read for analysis rather than technique. As you read the following piece, change your perspective from analyst to writer. What techniques does the author use and why? Mike Bunn suggested that readers should read as architects, examining how things are constructed.
Therefore, as you examine the piece, look for some choices the author made as he wrote. For example, what is the structure of the poem. Is a sonnet, haiku, or something else? (class discussion)
Now identify five additional techniques the author used.
Identify the purpose of the poem. Why is he writing?
Identify the audience for the poem? Does it include you?
How effective is the language? Does it communicate what you intended?
Would you use the same techniques to write about this topic?
Write a five verse poem on the same topic (poetry) to show why or why not, using his techniques if you agree, or your own if you do not.
