"The Walrus and the Carpenter"

BellringerWhat is a ballad?

Recap: We read a long poem today called a ballad. A ballad is a poem or song that tells a story. We read, "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll. I wanted to redeem him for you after "Jabberwocky."

Following the reading, you were asked to completed an analysis that included: rhyme scheme, meter, personification, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, and state the story being told. I want you to get comfortable analyzing the easy poems on your own, as we will now be moving into more difficult analysis.

Nice work today!

Have a good night!
