K, included find several poems that I taught and thought were successful. I would suggest limited the schema that the students focus on to five main aspects. I used speaker, setting, imagery, mood/tone, theme. You may even want to cut out theme. The students can examine these five dimensions at the beginning of every poem analysis. then go into the poem in more detail. rather than grouping poem...

"Still I Rise" You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to se...

Due to Ireland’s small size and its history of colonization, it must constantly consider its relationship with larger outside powers. With Britain in the east and America in the west, the Irish are divided upon how to deal with these foreign forces. Presently, Ireland imports American culture and modernity while exporting a traditional, picturesque image of itself. Thus, Ireland is “torn betwee...

The teacher of my 6th grade music class insisted upon the following point: “Rap is not music.” She outlined the necessary components of music and pointed out that rap was missing harmony, melody, and euphony. Artistically speaking, rap was just “noise.” She then launched into social commentary, illuminating for us the damaging aspects of rap that come about due to its association with violence,...

The first striking quality of Giacometti’s “Femme Debout” is that, though the sculpture generally resembles the shape of a woman’s body, it is not strictly mimetic.

The face of the woman resembles the formali...

Lost in the Rubble The vibrant German film industry, which boasted a cinematic tradition and star system relatively independent from Hollywood, found itself in shambles in the aftermath of World War II. During the Third Reich, cinema served as Goebbel’s most powerful propaganda instrument. Nationalistic films celebrated nationalism and militarism and entertainment movies projected images of imm...
