Poetry Study Goals

  • be familiar with more poetry terms
  • study different forms of poetry
  • analyze the poem's meaning
  • read by sentences, not lines
  • understand why the author chose to write the poem
When I first read the poems in the diagnostic test, I did not pay attention to the details. I skimmed the poems and looked at the big picture. Sometimes this was beneficial, but when it came to the in depth questions, I realized that I needed more help in analyzing poems. I think that these study goals will improve my analyzing skills and really dig deeper into the meaning of the poems.

  2. Nice goals. I also need to recognize the poems meanings and be familiar with poetry terms. I also agree that making these goals will improve analyzing skills. But great job on the post!
