write an explication. An explication focuses on all of the elements of poetry that are present in the poem. Refer to the Poetry Notecard under Modules and then Syllabus and Handouts. This is the prewriting template for this assignment.
When prewriting, you can work your way down the notecard element by element, or you can work your way through the poem from its first to last line. You will notice that some elements will be more predominant than others, and thus you will want to focus on them primarily. When drafting, you want your paper to have a solid beginning and ending, and you want to proceed from one idea to the next in a logical manner. You will want to group related points, so that your paragraphs are substantial. Consider that through your prewriting you have isolated the parts, and in the drafting phase you are grouping related parts together. The conclusion should focus on the whole poem, and can include a response.
