Somehow my ideas haven’t changed so much. I’m still getting difficult to understand a poem because poems are difficult to understand and try to know what kind of tone the poem is.The videos and the readings been so helpful it helps us to know how poetry works and what a poem.
Activity 1: Poetry lesson presentation shows different ways to define poetry and what is not a poetry. What is a Poetry? Well, a poetry has to shows any of these following: Rhyme, Rhythm, Repetition, Sound, Imagery, or Form. From the video I learned that a poetry is a concise, shorter, and shorter in length. As I have seen the video, I feel like my thoughts hasn’t changed because in High School I have been go over the meanings of rhyme, rhythm, repetition, sound, Imagery, and form. And how to annotate each stanza from the poem.
Activity 2: How to read a poem. While reading, I did know that we should ask ourselves questions when we read a poem. We should ask questions because that way, we could find the meaning of what the poem is trying to say and try to understand the poem. One idea about poetry has changed me: I didn’t know while reading a poem could lead us to mistakes. That the poems are difficult to understand.
• Questions we should when we first read a poem: Who is the speaker?
• What circumstances gave rise to the poem?
• What situation is presented?
• Who or what is the audience?
And what is the tone? I like this one because we should know what tone the poem is.

Melissa, even though you seem to have a pretty good background in poetry, I’m glad you continue to expand your ideas about the genre.
