Poetry Test: Test Prep Sheet
In order to do well on the upcoming exam, you
will need to study and apply the steps to reading poetry. On an exam, I will
NOT mark you on questions, summary, purpose or topic so you will NOT need to
demonstrate these. I WILL mark you on title analysis, rhyme scheme, stanzas,
lines, punctuation highlight, layout anomaly identification, highlighting
unknown words (though you will not be able to look them up; it still helps with
identification), and highlighting and defining literary devices.
You will also need to
know the following literary devices from your literary devices sheet:
Allusion Assonance Alliteration
Euphemism Irony Foreshadowing
Hyperbole Imagery Metaphor
Onomatopoeia Oxymoron Personification
Pathetic fallacy Repetition Rhetorical
question Simile Symbolism Synecdoche
In addition, some of the following words may be
unfamiliar to you (if they are, look them up and study them within the context
of sentences):
quatrains
couplets
cinquains
the
five senses
parallel
(structure)
reinforces
perception
monotony
resolve
emphasis
register
figurative/literal
language
tone
remorseful
anxious
