This 40-page EDITABLE resource will help your students write high-quality Poem Analysis Essays. Learning how to generate a formalist analysis of a poem will enable your students excel on Free Response Question #1 (FRQ1) from the AP Literature and Composition Exam. Because most students find the genre of the Poem Analysis Essay to be new and unfamiliar, the primary purpose of this resource is to provide students with models or exemplars of well-written essays on a wide range of poems. But the resource is also intended to equip you with enough prompts and templates that you'll be able to give your students ample practice at writing Poem Analysis Essays.

Here's what you'll find in this 40-page AP Lit resource:

• Tips for Success: This two-page handout contains detailed instructions for how to generate a formalist analysis of a poem. How do the formal elements and literary devices in a poem contribute to its meaning? What steps should a student follow when annotating a poem from Free Response Question #1? (2 pages)

• Model Essays (Exemplars): This resource features no fewer than 7 model essays that you can use to show your students how to write a Poem Analysis Essay. The model essays provide students with numerous examples of how to write a hook, thesis, topic sentence, etc. The model essays focus on poems by Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Gwendolyn Brooks, William Stafford, John Updike, Elizabeth Bishop, and Rhina Espaillat. (14 pages)

• Template to Create Your Own Essay Prompt: Use this template to create your own FRQ1 assignment. Just insert any poem that you think is sufficiently complex to warrant a complex written analysis. (5 pages)

• Glossary of Literary Devices: A glossary with definitions and examples of the various types of figurative language, imagery, stanzas, syntactic devices, etc. Many teachers already have a glossary of literary devices, but I'm providing this in case you need one. (2 pages)

• Analysis of Trends on Recent AP Lit Exams: This analysis of poems included on recent AP Lit Exams yields several insights that should inform how you construct your literature curriculum. Should you prioritize older poems or diverse authors? Sonnets or free verse? (2 pages)

• Grading Rubric: The rubric includes columns that will enable you to give feedback on each student's thesis, textual evidence, analysis of literary devices, organization of paragraphs, and mechanics. (1 page)

This poetry unit will come to you in a single 40-page EDITABLE Word document. My store is called “Rigorous Resources” because all of the resources contain rigorous content that will motivate students to generate in cogent and insightful essays.

Because I believe that teachers should be able to see exactly what they'll be getting before they purchase, the preview for this resource allows viewing accesses to over 15 pages. Click on the green “PREVIEW” button to see exactly what you’ll get. . . .

Get ready to have the most fun you'll have teaching poetry with a lesson that your students will love with the Back to School Poetry ESCAPE ROOM!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Back to School Poetry Escape Room. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are skills-based so that with the escape room, learning is not sacrificed; in fact, your students will come away with a stronger understanding of poetic terms and devices. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying (and the number of poems they have analyzed) in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

The ghosts of Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Langston Hughes, William Shakespeare, and Maya Angelou have risen from the grave to lock your students inside your classroom. They are upset because they believe that students spend too much time talking about (fill in the blank with whatever is hip with students these days) and not enough time reading and writing poetry. Students cannot escape until they complete 5 poetry-based tasks to show these ghosts of poets past that they do in fact know their poetry.

• Watch Your Tone: In the first task, students will read 6 poem excerpts and identify their tone. When cards are matched correctly, shaded letters will reveal the code.
• Rhyme Time: In the second task, students will read 8 poem excerpts and determine the rhyme scheme of each. When cards are matched correctly on a chart, numbers on the cards will reveal the code.
• Poe's Anatomy: In the third task, students will closely read A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe and complete an anatomy of the poem. When completed correctly, shaded letters within the answers will reveal the code.
• Ah-Mazing: In the third task, students must solve a challenging word maze. Letters collected along the way form the fourth code.
• Complete the Quote: The final task brings the first four tasks together. Students must match the code words with their definitions and complete a quote about poetry.

Product Includes:

- Escape Room Basics

- Detailed Day-Of Instructions

- Escape Room Print Checklist

Teach this dynamic moment in history! This Abigail Adams "4 LETTERS" [Letters & Lesson Activities] resource provides students a chance to experience a variety of topics that cause reflection. 4 of Adams' popular LETTERS, 20+ discussion questions/essay prompts, a sample LITERARY & ANALYSIS Chart, LESSON ACTIVITIES, Black & White Versions, Projects, 40 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS and Answers, cover page for independent student packet possibility, and a Biography. These historical documents allow students to read and analyze these LETTERS of literary merit. 10th - 11th Graders will love this product. Check it out!

Summary:

Abigail Adams (Smith; November 22, 1744 – October 28, 1818) was the wife and closest advisor of John Adams, as well as the mother of John Quincy Adams. She is sometimes considered to have been a Founder of the United States, and is now designated as the second first lady of the United States, although this title was not used at the time. She and Barbara Bush are the only two women to have been married to one U.S. president and the mother of another.

Her firsthand account of history [primary sources] in the form of letters/historical documents have been used in education, specifically English classes, for decades because of their strength of diction and composition, but the content pretexts motherhood, wifehood, and women's fight for equality and recognition.

This 10th - 11th grade canonized set of letters allows students to understand the need to reflect.

LETTERS Include:

1. Letter to John Adams [Her Husband]

2. "Remember the Ladies" [Another letter to her Husband]

3. Letter to John Quincy Adams [Her Son]

4. Letter to Abigail Smith [Her Daughter]

This Resource Includes:

1. Who was Abigail Adams? Written/Video Biography

2. Each letter has 3 -9 Discussion Questions [25 questions]

3. Adams & Me

4. Literary and Participation Chart [Blank & Printable]

5. Cover pages for Independent or Group Study Packet capabilities

6. Group letter Presentations and much more to make your classroom GREAT!

• Changing Tides: In the first task, students must will identify poetic devices in the poem, The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls by Henry Longfellow.
• School's End Sonnet: In the second task, students will answer multiple choice questions of a sonnet about the end of the school year.
• Watch Your Tone: In the third task, students must match excerpts from summery poems with their tones.
• Maze Craze: In the fourth task, students must solve a word maze.
• Van Gogh's Wisdom: The final task brings everything together in which students must input the codes from the first 4 tasks into a quote by Van Gogh using rhymes. When the quote is complete, they will escape to summer vacation.
