Poetry Terms 4-Square

For class tomorrow, April 9, you need to come to class with your poetic term 4-square completed. Remember to come to class before lunch tomorrow!!

Below are the tasks for the four squares:

1. Image that represents the term
2. Find and write the definition of the term in the context of poetry and cite your source.
3. Write synonyms or a paraphrased definition (use your own words)
4. Write an original line of poetry to illustrate the poetic term or find an example of the poetic term in the poems already studied in class.
   

You will take notes on all of the poetry terms presented by your classmates. You can go ahead and set up your next notebook page, listing the words and leaving a few lines to define each term in the context of the study of poetry.
