MEMORIZATION
POETRY




PROMPT
SAT Style Essay ~ Sonnet Analysis
Directions: Choose ONE of the poems on the back of this paper. As you read the passage, consider how [the author] creates meaning through the elements within the text. Consider that there are many areas that you may examine to find evidence to support your interpretation:
  • evidence, such as facts or examples or direct wording.
  • stylistic or persuasive elements, such as word choice or appeals to emotion, to add power to the ideas expressed.
  • structural features such as punctuation or sonnet rhyme schemes/structures.
  • rhetorical features such as poetic devices.
Pompt: Write a 3-5 paragraph essay in which you explain what the poem means and how you know what that meaning is. Your essay should not explain whether you agree with the message of the poem, but rather explain how the author clearly makes his/her message.
