Summarize Poems — 5th gradeSlide2

Connection

We have learned how to analyze text to determine themes or life lessons.

We

have also learned how to analyze the structure of texts to determine how the structure leads to the development of a theme and we have compared authors’ approaches to similar themes across texts and genres

.

Today we will learn how to annotate and summarize poetry. Slide3

Teaching

When

reading a poem it is important to read the poem closely

.

In

order to do that you must read the poem several times.

The

first time you read the poem it is for

enjoyment

.

the

second time is to identify and interpret

figurative language

using

annotations.

the

third time is to understand the

tone and mood

of the poem.

After

reading the poem three times, you are then able to

summarize

the poem. Slide4

Let’s

begin with the poem The Echoing Green by William

Blake.

I will read the poem

aloud

the

first time for enjoyment

.

The second time we read the poem I want you stop me when you hear figurative language.

The third time we read the poem we are going to determine the tone and mood of the poem. Slide5

“The Echoing Green” by William Blake

The sun does arise,

And make happy the skies;

The merry bells ring

To welcome the Spring;

The skylark and thrush,

The birds of the bush,

Sing louder around

To the bells’ cheerful sound;

While our sports shall be seen

On the echoing green.

Old John

, with white hair,

Does

laugh away

care,

Sitting

under the oak,

Among

the old

folk.

They l

augh

at our

play,

And

soon

they all

say

,

‘Such,

such

were the

joys

When we all -

girls

and

boys-

In our

youth-time

were seen

On the echoing green.’

Now that we have read the poem three times we are able to look at the annotations and summarize the poem.

When

we summarize a text makes sure to use your own language to describe the main idea of each stanza.

Let’s

use the right side of the sheet to summarize the main idea of each stanza. Slide8

Suspense

by

Pat Mora

Wind chases

itself

Around our house,

flattens

wild

grasses

with one hot breath.

Clouds boil

purple

and gray, roll

and roil.

Scorpions

dart

under stones.

Rabbit

eyes peer

From the shelter of mesquite.

Thorny silence

.

My

paisano

, the

road runner

paces, dashes

into the rumble,

races from the plink, plink

splatter into his shadow,

leaps

at the crash

flash splash,

sky rivers rushing into arroyos

and

Thirsty roots

of prickly pears,

greening cactus.
