Original PromptPlease create a comprehensive analysis graphic organizer that can help 7th grade students to analyze a poem and its related spoken spoken version to understand how the content and craft of the words have power and how coupling those words with spoken techniques helps to powerfully relay the poet's message
This learning resource focuses on comparing and contrasting the effects of poetic devices in written texts and spoken performances. Students are encouraged to select key lines from a poem and analyze the use of poetic devices such as sensory language, alliteration, allusion, and personification in writing, while observing corresponding spoken techniques like pausing, speed, and volume during performances. The resource includes prompts for synthesizing these elements to deepen understanding of how both written craftsmanship and spoken artistry contribute to a poem's overall message. Students are also tasked with examining non-verbal performance aspects and reflecting on how various delivery methods can alter a listener's interpretation of a single line from the poem.
