I chose to use five poems because they each show different perspective. In
teaching perspective, poetry is key because of the many different outlets the author
can show their perspective. By using figurative language, the author can turn a
simple perspective into something more complex that calls for analysis. Poems
serve as a type of outlet for writers, and the students can find different aspects of
the authors perspective that interests them.
Poetry
1. Annabel
Edgar Allan This is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe that is
Lee
Poe, 1849
told from the perspective of a man who has
lost the love of his life. His perspective is
filled with heartbreak and an intense love
that cannot fade, even in death. The
intense language that Poe uses throughout
this piece to express love shows the
students the deep insight into the man who
lost his love. Throughout a unit on poetry,
this piece can be used to show students
how perspective is used in all forms of
writing. If the teacher is having students
read this poem during a poetry unit, the
teacher can still have them identify the
perspective and have them right a poem
mimicking the intense perspective like in
the poem.
2. We Wear Paul
In his poem, Paul Laurence Dunbar
the Mask
Laurence
perspective is of the oppression that he
Dunbar,
feels as an African American having to wear
1913
a mask. The mask serves as a symbol of
what hides the truth about slavery and the
treatment of African Americans. Though his
poem is about slavery and covering up the
truth, the main perspective is oppression. In
the classroom, students would read the
poem aloud and discuss how Dunbars
perspective conveys his message of
oppression. Students would then write
poems in their own perspective of a time
where they may have felt oppressed. These
poems would not be shared in class because
