Grammar of poetry

Grammar of Poetry
Author: Matt Whitling
ISBN: 978-1-59128-120-7


Hi Everyone

I have to recommend this to everyone.  We are studying this at the moment with the kids and all are responding well.  We are watching the DVDs together and getting some good conversations,  there is a riddle at the end of most units that get us all stumped, and the additional poems are deep and thought provoking. 

Here is a glimpse of what your family/school will get with this curriculum:

Lesson 1: Introduction and epiphany chart
Lesson 2: how to read poetry

Module 1
  • Lesson 3: Simile (trope)
  • Lesson4: Rhyme
  • Lesson 5: using a rhyming dictionary
Module 2
  • Lesson 6: Metaphore (trope)
  • Lesson 7 Meter (part 1)
  • Lesson 8 Meter (part 2)
Module 3
  • Lesson 9: Pun (trope)
  • Lesson 10: Lamb (foot)
  • Lesson 11: Iambic imitation
Module 4
  • Lesson 12: Personification (trope)
  • Lesson 13: Trochee (foot)
  • Lesson 14: Trochaic Imitation
Module 5
  • Lesson 15: Synecdoche (trope)
  • Lesson 16: Anapest (foot)
  • Lesson 17: Anapestic imitation
Module 6
  • Lesson 18: Hyperbole (trope)
  • Lesson 19: Dactyl (foot)
  • Lesson 20 Dactylic imitation
Module 7
  • Lesson 21: Onomatopoeia (trope)
  • Lesson 22: Alliteration
  • Lesson 23: Alliterative imitation
Module 8
  • Lesson 24: Rhetorical question (trope)
  • Lesson 25: Refrain
  • Lesson 26: Refrained imitation
Module 9
  • Lesson 27: Oxymoron (trope)
  • Lesson 28: Spacial poetry
  • Lesson 29: Spacial imitation
  • Lesson 30: Euphesism (trope)

This curriculum is serving my students and myself very well.  The student sheets have plenty to reinforce the lesson.  The DVDs are fantastic, especially for my boy who responds well to anything put on a screen.  And the teachers edition has all I need to make the lessons easy to prepare, present and grade.

Happy reading
