In your own words, explain the meaning of a ‘literal’ interpretation and the meaning of a ‘figurative’ interpretation of poetry. Then explain why it is important to deal with BOTH of these when you are teaching poetry. (5) Question 3 Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow. As the still sun sets Birds alight, their feathers lit Blue and orange and peach. a) In a short paragraph, and in your OWN words, explain how we know this poem is a haiku. (4) b) List three reasons why haikus are ideal for introducing children to poetry. (6) c) In a paragraph of about 150 words, discuss some of the poet’s figurative language. Specifically: Explain why you think the alliteration in “still sun sets” is effective. Remember that this is a sound device, so tell us why this sound is effective given what the poet is describing here in the poem. Discuss the words “alight” and “lit”. What is the literal meaning of these two words? “Alight” and “lit” both make us think of a certain image. What is that image, and why is it effective given what the poet is describing here in the poem? (10) SUBTOTAL: 30 MARKS TOTAL: 50 MARK
