Directions for Virtual Lit: You will see 14 terms on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on each of these terms and read the full description of the term. Get these terms in your head because we will be using them over and over in our study of poetry. Tomorrow I will give you a brief matching quiz to make sure that you have indeed read over the terms very carefully. You will do well on this quiz if you take your time and concentrate on this very important page. Most of these terms have examples in which the term is used in the context of a poem. For example, under alliteration, you will see: “See how alliteration functions in ‘To His Coy Mistress’.” These examples are found at the bottom right-hand side of the page. If the term has one or two examples, I want you to click on and view those examples so that you clearly understand the term. Do not, however, do any of the exercises. Take your time on this because it is very important. Reviewing this page will take all period. Work quietly and stay on task, so that you do a good job. Again, knowing these terms is very important to our study of poetry. Also, these terms will show up on the upcoming PSSA Reading Assessment.
