Lesson Three - Atrophy

Lesson

You will be presented with "unfamiliar poetry" - that is - poetry you have not studied - on BOTH parts of your ELA diploma exam.

On Part A, you will be presented with three texts: a poem, a prose excerpt, and a visual.  You must write your personal response on ONE of these texts.

On Part B, you will be presented with two poems as you move through several reading selections on the multiple-choice reading comprehension exam.

Reviewing the TFC TASTI method of analyzing poetry will help you prepare to deal with unfamiliar poetry.
