What is a sample standards-based task for ELAGSE8RL4
Choose poems that rely on figurative language and other nuanced or especially connotative language for their beauty and power. Give each student or group of students a different poem and have students write a brief analysis describing the audience, purpose, tone, and mood of the poem. The second step will be to rewrite the poem, replacing any language that is figurative in the poem with concrete language that is synonymous with the figurative terms. Students wll trade poems so that they are exposed only to the literal version of the- second poem. Students will then write a second brief analysis describing the audience, purpose, tone, and mood of the edited poem. In teams, allow students to compare the analyses of the poems before and after the changes in order to appreciate the ways in which the figurative and connotative language created the artistic merit of the poem.
