As little kids, most of us loved poetry, reciting nursery rhymes and chanting goofy limericks. What happened? I don’t have the answer, but one of my goals this year will be to rekindle your enthusiasm for and appreciation of poetry. Poetry is neither some arcane secret-society technical practice, nor is it a silly wad of marshmallow-fluff emotions. It’s an expression of something uniquely … human.  \nLaurence Perrine suggests,“People have read poetry or listened to it or recited it because they liked it, because it gave them enjoyment. But this is not the whole answer. Poetry in all ages has been regarded as important, not simply as one of several alternative forms of amusement, as one person might choose bowling, another chess, and another poetry. Rather, it has been regarded as something central to existence, something having unique value to the fully realized life, something that we are better off for having and without which we are spiritually impoverished.”  \nJohn Ciardi writes,“Everyone who has an emotion and a language knows something about poetry. What he knows may not be much on an absolute scale, and it may not be organized within him in a useful way, but once he discovers the pleasure of poetry, he is likely to be surprised to discover how much he always knew without knowing he knew it. He may discover, somewhat as the character in the French play discovered to his amazement that he had been talking prose all his life, that he had been living poetry. Poetry, after all, is about life. Anyone who is alive and conscious must have some information about it.”  \nThis year we will approach poetry two ways. We will study some poems in class, learning about the tools and devices poets use in their craft, talking about what a poem means or how it can affect a reader, or seeking answers to questions we raised while reading or studying. We might call this our structured or formal study of poetry. But we will also study poetry informally through poetry responses.  \nYou will be asked to write a total of five poetry responses each six weeks. Please look closely at the class schedule to know when these responses are due (almost always on Mondays) . You should choose one poem from a list of poems I have given you for the grading period and write a response to that poem. These responses should be a minimum of one double-spaced typed page. (Do it in MLA format; it’s a good habit.) Just place the response in the bin at the beginning of class on the due date.  \nWhat should you write in a poetry response? You may approach this assignment several ways. Sometimes students might write a very formal, stuffy analysis of the poem. They explain what is going onin the poem and relate what they think the theme is. Other students begin with the theme and elaborate on that, while some apply the poem to themselves by relating a personal experience. Occasionally a student will write a response on just one line from the poem. What you do with the response is up to you – as long as you say something and say it in first person. You’ve been banned from writing in first person for long enough; you’ve earned it back. Use it well. Do not spend time explaining how you could not understand the poem no matter how hard you tried. Naturally, I do not expect you to like all the poems, but if you dislike a poem because of its content or style, then support that with specifics.  \nAlthough you are only required to respond on paper to one poem each week, you should acquaint yourself with all the poems on the list. Read all the poems from the list every week. Read them at different times, in different places, and in different moods. You may notice how the poems will reveal themselves to you over the weeks.  \nAP English: Literature and Composition Poems for Poetry Responses – First Quarter  \nBlackberries for Amelia  \nFringing the woods, the stone walls, and th","cbCaifbLxNYGUX8l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifbLxNYGUX8l","pdf",529721,"English","# Poetry Response Instructions\n## Course purpose and approach\n## Poetry response assignment requirements\n## What to write in a poetry response\n## Reading the full poem list each week\n## Assigned poems","[{\"question\":\"How often must students submit poetry responses?\",\"answer\":\"Students write a total of five poetry responses each six weeks, choosing one poem from a provided list for the grading period.\"},{\"question\":\"When are poetry responses due?\",\"answer\":\"Responses are due almost always on Mondays, so students should check the class schedule for exact dates.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the minimum required length and required format for responses?\",\"answer\":\"Each response must be at least one double-spaced typed page and written in MLA format.\"},{\"question\":\"What should students focus on when writing a poetry response?\",\"answer\":\"Students may write formal analysis, develop themes, connect the poem to personal experience using first person, or even focus on a single line—while ensuring they say something meaningful and support opinions with specifics.\"}]","AP English: Literature and Composition - Poems for Poetry Responses - First Quarter - Poetry Response Instructions | PDF",1790160509,18]
