They are available in two formats: Google Slides and Google Forms. Google Slides First, I have made all student pages in Google Slides format. Students can simply add text boxes to any area they wish to type on. To access the Google Slides for this short story unit, copy and paste the link below into your browser: link omitted in preview file Google Forms I have made the assessments available in Google Forms. Here, they are self-grading, and I have set them all up with answer keys so they are ready to go for you. You’ll need to find these two files in your download folder to use Google Forms. The first file contains the links to the Forms, and the second file is explicit instructions for use. 5 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Teaching Guide, Rationale, Lesson Plans, and Procedures I have discussed here how I use each activity and included hints and links to help you, too. I went ahead and mapped out the days for you. Feel free to take or leave what you like. Even if you don’t plan to follow this schedule, I still recommend reading through this section to get the most out of these activities. These lessons and activities were designed to meet the needs of eight graders during the middle part of the school year. The stories, activities, questions, and assessments will become increasingly rigorous and challenging as we progress through the year. Day 1 1. Activity 1: 15 minutes Mini-lesson – Poetry Sound & Rhyme Review – students simply write in the answers to review and will need this content for Activities 2 and 11 and be quizzed on it with the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 1 Activity 15 2. Activity 2: 20 minutes Annotate Sounds & Rhyme Practice Pages – GREAT warm-up for a poetry unit to get students thinking about and finding the terms they reviewed in Activity 1 and ready to do the major annotation in Activity 11 - and of course to prepare for the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 15. This is a separate file in the download folder named Sound Rhyme Practice.pdf. Activity 2 3. Activity 3: 15 minutes Another Mini-lesson, Poetic Structure. Students review terms they’ll need to know to complete the annotating in Activity 11 and yes, again on the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 15. Activity 3 6 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Day 2 1. Activity 4: 15 minutes Another Mini-lesson, Poetry Rhyme Schemes. Activity 4 Students review terms they’ll need to know to complete the annotating in Activity 11 and yes, again on the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 15. LOOKS similar to Activity 3 but the terms/content is different. 2. Activity 5: 20 minutes Imagery interactive notebook lesson – see assembly instructions and student pages; students will Activity 5 analyze imagery for Paul Revere’s Ride in Activity 12, on the 4th read. 3. Activity 6: 20 minutes Imagery practice pages – I’ve included a 20-item practice and a quiz in case your students need extra help identifying Imagery. This one’s optional if your students are already experienced in spotting Activity 6 imagery. This is a separate file in the download folder named Imagery Activity 5.pdf. Day 3 1. Activity 7: 5-10 minutes Journal prompt - discuss if desired. (Separate file in Activity 7 the download folder.) 2. First Read – Read/Listen to Poem – 10 minutes Choose which copy to give to students - if you are going to do the summary close read for each stanza (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, Activity 8 below) then give students the pages from the file Act 8 Student Pages and Keys.pdf located in the download folder. Otherwise, you can just give them the copy of Poem for Annotating.pdf also located in the download folder. They can take notes in their notebook or glue in their notebook either way. See the two options below (from the Highwayman, but same idea). Version 1 – use this ^ Version 2, use this ^ 7 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Day 3, continued Activity 8 If you want a decent audio version, I like this one from Youtube (optional depending on available technology..): https://youtu.be/9rPT0yxFSZc 3. Activity 8: 35 minutes SECOND READ: Read and analyze events of poem (see bottom of previous page for location of text files and student options!). I’ve summarized the events of each stanza for you and also (under the bar in each box) written a statement about the stanza’s overall significance to the development of the plot (RL.8.3) Day 4 2. Activity 9: 25 minutes Literal Comprehension Quiz– Basic Activity 9 Comprehension (Recall Facts) This quiz checks for basic comprehension and recall of the story. There are no higher order thinking questions on this quiz, no inferring, no analyzing, no drawing conclusions, etc. so I do not recommend that students use a copy of the story for this quiz unless they need that as a testing accommodation. The purpose of this quiz for me is to make sure students carefully read the story and to make sure they can recall facts and details after they read. 3. Activity 10: 25 minutes Plot Pyramid – This is so routine, but IMPORTANT for hammering home these ideas: 1) a narrative poem REALLY is a story and can be diagrammed just like a story, and Activity 10 2) YES, even YOU can diagram a poem! 8 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Day 5 1. Activity 11: 55 minutes Annotation Guide for Sound, Rhyme, & Structure THIRD READ: Students are doing two things at once here: recording answers and answering questions on the 3-page student copy of the annotation guide, and they’re Activity 11 also annotating on top of any version of the poem.

  • Friends, Enemies, and Fools: a Collection of Uyghur Proverbs by Michael Fiddler, Zhejiang Normal University
    GIALens 2017 Volume 11, No. 3 Friends, enemies, and fools: A collection of Uyghur proverbs by Michael Fiddler, Zhejiang Normal University Erning körki saqal, sözning körki maqal. A beard is the beauty of a man; proverbs are the beauty of speech. Abstract: This article presents two groups of Uyghur proverbs on the topics of friendship and wisdom, to my knowledge only the second set of Uyghur proverbs published with English translation (after Mahmut & Smith-Finley 2016). It begins with a brief introduction of Uyghur language and culture, then a description of Uyghur proverb styles, then the two sets of proverbs, and finally a few concluding comments. Key words: Proverb, Uyghur, folly, wisdom, friend, enemy 1. Introduction Uyghur is spoken by about 10 million people, mostly in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It is a Turkic language, most closely related to Uzbek and Salar, but also sharing similarity with its neighbors Kazakh and Kyrgyz. The lexicon is composed of about 50% old Turkic roots, 40% relatively old borrowings from Arabic and Persian, and 6% from Russian and 2% from Mandarin (Nadzhip 1971; since then, the Russian and Mandarin borrowings have presumably seen a slight increase due to increased language contact, especially with Mandarin). The grammar is generally head-final, with default SOV clause structure, A-N noun phrases, and postpositions. Stress is typically word-final. Its phoneme inventory includes eight vowels and 24 consonants. The phonology includes vowel harmony in both roots and suffixes, which is sensitive to rounded/unrounded (labial harmony) and front/back (palatal harmony), consonant harmony across suffixes, which is sensitive to voiced/unvoiced and front/back distinctions; and frequent devoicing of high vowels (see Comrie 1997 and Hahn 1991 for details).

Dr. Charles Hatfield supported me throughout the dissertation. His expertise on theoretical framing helped me develop an approach to my topic through a range of texts and disciplines. Dr. Frederick Turner encouraged me to continue and develop narrative elements in my poetry and took a particular interest when I began writing poems about southeastern Ohio. He encouraged me to get to the essence of specific poems through multiple drafts. Dr. Rainer Schulte, Dr. Richard Brettell, and Dr. Nils Roemer were my introduction to The University of Texas at Dallas. Dr. Schulte’s “Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Arts and Humanities” highlighted many of the strengths of our program, and “Crafting Poetry” provided useful insight into my own poetry as well as a thorough introduction international poetry. Dr. Brettell’s “Art and Anarchy” course expounded the idea that poets could be political in their lives and work, both overtly and implicitly.

  • Poetry Explications A-State Online Writing Center
    Poetry Explications A-State Online Writing Center What are poetry explications? A poetry explication is an analytical essay that comments on a poem’s elements and possible meanings. In other words, writers make connections between the narrative of the poem and the literary choices the poet uses to convey that narrative such as imagery, tone, rhythm and meter, and word choice. Reading & identifying analysis points Before writing your essay, it’s best to take the time to read the poem to yourself at least twice to gain an understanding of the plot, structure, narrator’s point of view (POV), and main ideas. Remember that you need to separate the narrator of the poem from the poet, particularly if you know the poet’s identity. Do not conflate the poet’s POV and personal life with the narrator’s life. When you begin looking for major ideas and connections between poem elements, consider these questions: ● What are the major themes? ● How is the poem structured and broken up into lines and stanzas? ● Who does the narrator or speaker seem to be addressing? ● What are the major conflicts and plot points? ● What is the overall tone? Are there shifts in tone? ● Is there a location described? ● Are there patterns you can note throughout the poem? Are there patterns in word choice, imagery, structure, syntax, rhyme, rhythm, and other elements? Determining these answers are helpful when writing your analysis. General outline Briefly summarize the poem’s narrative in the introduction of your essay for context. Then develop a clear thesis statement that addresses your major analysis points.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 279 Third International Conference of Arts, Language and Culture (ICALC 2018) Uncovering the translator’s techniques in retaining the beauty of poetic children’s stories Nur Saptaningsih1, Ardianna Nuraeni 2 1 English Department, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia 2 English Department, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Surakarta, Indonesia 1 [email protected], 2* [email protected] Abstract: Studies on translation of children’s literature have been widely explored by researchers with a number of focus on translation readability, proper names, titles, and culture-specific terms. One area that is still rare to study is the presence of bilingual children’s books that are presented poetically, where the author writes the stories using poetic devices (such as presenting them in stanzas and rhyming expressions) and where the translator produces the translated stories with the same poetic sense. This study focuses our special attention to the issue of the translation of poetic illustrated stories for children, which aims to describe ways the translator of book series “Archipelago Legend” renders the poetic markers in his translation, particularly to keep maintaining the message of the Source Text (ST) in the Target Text (TT) and the beauty of the stanzas. Under the design of descriptive qualitative research, we analyzed seven bilingual books of Indonesia’s “Archipelago Legend”. Stanzas in the stories and their translations were selected and categorized into types of poetic devices used by the writer and the translator. The source language construction and their translations, as well as the poetic devices in both ST and TT were analyzed with the aim at exploring the translator’s techniques in maintaining the beauty of the poetic stories in rendering the message of ST.

  • Rhyme in European Verse: a Case for Quantitative Historical Poetics
    1 Rhyme in European Verse: A Case for Quantitative Historical Poetics Boris Maslov & Tatiana Nikitina Keywords rhyme, statistical methods, meter, Historical Poetics, Russian verse The past decade has witnessed an unprecedented rise of interest in objectivist, data-driven approaches to literary history, often grouped together under the heading of digital humanities. The rapid multiplication of software designed to map and chart literature, often on a massive scale, has engendered an anxious (and often unpublicized) reaction. A concern for the future of literary studies, traditionally committed to the study of individual texts accessed through “close reading” of individual passages, is exacerbated in the wake of the emergence of a version of “world literature” that normalizes the study of literary works in translation, effectively jettisoning the philological techniques of explication du texte. This article seeks to bypass these antagonisms by proposing an alternative approach to literary history which, while being rooted in data analysis and employing quantitative methods some of which have been part of a century-old scholarly tradition, retains a twofold focus on the workings of poetic form and on the interaction between national literary traditions—the two topics that have dominated theoretical poetics and comparative literature ever since the inception of these disciplines in the late nineteenth-early twentieth centuries. While close reading is admittedly of limited value in the study of 2 versification, a more rigorous type of statistical testing used in this study allows for reliable assessment of tendencies observed in relatively small corpora, while also making it possible to verify the significance of highly nuanced quantitative differences.

  • Who Heard the Rhymes, and How: Shakespeare’S Dramaturgical Signals
    Oral Tradition, 11/2 (1996): 190-221 Who Heard the Rhymes, and How: Shakespeare’s Dramaturgical Signals Burton Raffel The Audience “The many-headed multitude” was how, in 1601, a contemporary referred to the Shakespearian audience (Salgado 1975:22). “Amazed I stood,” wondered an anonymous versifier in 1609, “to see a crowd/ Of civil throats stretched out so lowd;/ (As at a new play) all the rooms/ Did swarm with gentles mix’d with grooms.”1 This wide-ranging appeal considerably antedated Shakespeare’s plays: though he very significantly shaped its later course, he profited from rather than created the solidly popular status of the Elizabethan and, above all, the London stage, for “London was where the players could perform in their own custom-built playhouses, week after week and year after year. In London there were regular venues, regular audiences, regular incomes.”2 The first playhouses had been built in 1576; at least two professional “playhouses were flourishing in 1577.”3 (Shakespeare was then a country lad of thirteen.) The urgency of clerical denunciations, then as now, provides particularly revealing evidence of the theater’s already well- established place in many Londoners’ hearts.4 1 Idem:29. Festivity was of course a far more important aspect of Elizabethan life. “The popular culture of Elizabethan England . is characterized first and foremost by its general commitment to a world of merriment” (Laroque 1991:33). 2 Gurr 1992:6. And, just as today, those who wielded political power took most seriously the ancillary economic benefits produced by London’s professional theaters. See Harrison 1956:112-14, for the authorities’ immensely positive reaction, when appealed to by the watermen who ferried playgoers back and forth across the Thames, and whose profitable employment was being interfered with.

  • Computing Poetry
    Computing Poetry Rodolfo Delmonte Department of Language Studies & Department of Computer Science Ca’ Foscari University - 30123, Venezia, Italy [email protected] Abstract: We present SPARSAR, a system for the automatic analysis of poetry(and text) style which makes use of NLP tools like tokenizers, sentence splitters, NER (Name Entity Recognition) tools, and taggers. Our system in addition to the tools listed above which aim at obtaining the same results of quantitative linguistics, adds a number of additional tools for syntactic and semantic structural analysis and prosodic modeling. We use a constituency parser to measure the structure of modifiers in NPs; and a dependency mapping of the previous parse to analyse the verbal complex and determine Polarity and Factuality. Another important component of the system is a phonological parser to account for OOVWs, in the process of grapheme to phoneme conversion of the poem. We also measure the prosody of the poem by associating mean durational values in msecs to each syllable from a database and created an algorithm to account for the evaluation of durational values for any possible syllable structure. Eventually we produce six general indices that allow single poems as well as single poets to be compared. These indices include a Semantic Density Index which computes in a wholly new manner the complexity of a text/poem. Keywords: NLP, Sentiment and Affective Analysis, Factuality and Subjectivity Analysis, Prosodic Structure, Semantic and Syntactic Processing, Metrical Structure 1 Introduction We present SPARSAR, a system for poetry (and text) style analysis by means of parameters derived from deep poem (and text) analysis.
