This literature course provides opportunities for students to analyze the techniques and themes of poetry. Students study in-depth the poetic works of several prominent contemporary and traditional poets. In the process, they experience how poetry communicates via word choice, figurative language, imagery, sound devices, and structure. Students also explore several genres of poetry by reading and analyzing specific examples of each. They discuss the role poetry plays in contemporary cultures and examine its impact on individuals and on societies as a whole. In addition to studying the content and form of poetry, students improve writing skills by writing literary analyses and by creating poetry of their own, which reflect assigned forms or themes.
