Monday 3/21 ~ Do you know your Poetic Devices?

EQ: Can you identify poetic devices within a line of poetry? (Quiz on block!)

MEMORIZATION: "If" by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you   
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;   
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
