COUPLETS
A couplet is
a pair of lines of meter in poetry. Couplets usually have two lines that rhyme
and have the same meter. A couplet may be formal (closed) or run-on (open). In
a formal couplet, each of the two lines is end-stopped, implying that there is
a grammatical pause at the end of a line or verse. In a run-on couplet, the
meaning of the first line continues to the second.
Examples:
True wit is nature to advantage dress'd;
What oft was thought, but ne'er so well
express'd.
— Alexander Pope
Whether or not we find what we are seeking
Is idle, biologically speaking.
POETRY NOTEBOOK
You will be
keeping a poetry notebook this six-week period. Anything we do regarding poetry
should be placed in this notebook.
Among the
items you will have in this are:
notes on poetry,
poems you have written,
pictures you have drawn about the
poetry,
poet information, and
anything else I assign to be placed in
it.
You may take
notes on your Chromebook; however, your finished notebook will be on real
paper.
In addition
to the daily grades on individual assignments, you will have a test grade on
your finished notebook.
Other
details will be added.
