Regents Prep: Part 2 Poetry Practice
Coming up: vocabulary quiz "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" on Friday, March 16 (another copy below); Graphic organizer "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" at the start of class on Monday, March 19. Remember that you will have NO time on Monday to work on the organizer. You have class time after tomorrow's quiz; however, the extra time is out of class. You will need this material on Monday and Tuesday to write your short essay.
In Class: Regents Prep Reading Comprehension Practice. (class handout / copy below). This will be collected at the close of class for a participation grade.
Objectives:
I can identify the main elements of a poem and analyze their development in the text
I can use my multiple choice strategies to help with understanding what is being asked.
I can underline/annotate the main ideas of the written text and summarize the concepts, processes, and information in my own words.
Directions:
1. We will review the different ways of annotating and marking your work. We will go over exactly what the questions for the poetry part of the test is asking and what it means.
2. We will go over the directions of the graphic organizer and the expectations. For the worksheet, you will work with each other to annotate/go over the poem and identify certain elements within the poem. You will EACH fill out the graphic organizer and will be handing it in for a participation grade.
3. Once you spend time on the organizer, try to answer the multiple choice questions independently . We will go over what we can put in the graphic organizer along with the answers to the multiple choice questions.
**Make sure to raise your hand if you have any questions

Regents Pep: poetry review
Directions: Independently, read the poem that that has been
taken from a recent ELA Regents exam. Remember: you should have three readings
of a poem, in order to grasp 1) its sound sense, 2) its overall meaning and 3)
its richness and depth, which will be accessed through ANNOTATING. Again, this must be read aloud in your head to
be successful. After annotating the poem, you may work with a partner to fill
out the graphic organizer with information that you feel is useful. Each box
has an element that you need to be able to identify within the poem. Write down
your notes and ideas that correspond with each box.
