3) Read I felt a Funeral, in my Brain together as a class. Have a different
student read each stanza.
4) Begin class discussion, ask the students What do you think Dickinson
is trying to say when she says I felt a Funeral, in my Brain. Mention how
she is losing her mind and connect this to the theme of insanity of The
Tell-Tale Heart.
5) Split the students into groups. Each group should be assigned one
stanza. Based on the literary elements that we reviewed as a class, let the
students work with their groups to find as many of these literary elements
in their assigned stanza as possible. When they are finished, each group
will direct class discussion for their certain stanza.
6) Exit Ticket
Guided Practice
Have the students form into groups to analyze one stanza per group. With
the literary elements that we reviewed in class, the students should be
able to point out things like alliteration, repetition, personification, simile,
onomatopoeia, and metaphor. While they are reviewing their given
stanza, go around the room to check and help each group.
Closure
Tell the students to think about how the literary elements help created
tone and conveyed imagery in Dickinsons poem. Additionally, think about
how would the poem be different if she didnt employ these literary
elements?
Independent Practice
Have the students write an exit ticket that consists of three components.
1) Write one literary element that was used in the poem.
2) How was it used in the poem? Quote it.
3) How did the use of this literary element contribute to the overall poem?
