Introduction to Poetry Analysis - student notes and guided practice

Poetry analysis can be daunting for any student (and teacher), so ease the fear with this Introduction to Poetry Power Point. Great to use to start off a poetry unit or introducing the Poetry Analysis Essay to AP Literature students. Covers basic poetry terms and definitions, and guides students in practicing using the terms. After this PPT, students will be ready for the Types of Poetry PPT, in which they will learn different forms of poetry, read an example poem of each type, and analyze each poem AP-style. (Some information in this PPT is taken from Essential Literary Terms: A Brief Norton Guide with Exercises, Sharon Hamilton, Norton & Company, 2017.)
