STEP 1

Read a literary text Context - The poetess

Denotative analysis

Now take the text into consideration: Who is speaking?
Consider its function and say what kind of poem do you think it is?
Consider lay out and structure. What is the function of the different stanzas? How do they make sense?

Consider the layers of language use

level of sound
level of semantics (words chosen, tenses, ...)
level of syntax (sentence structure/punctuation)
level of formality/informality (formal language, informal register/s)
possible ideal listener/reader
What layer of meaning do you consider particularly important? Why?
Summarise the content of the poem and after considering the poem context tell your peers about the message of the poem.
How many characters does the text involve? Refer to the text and say if they are similar or different.
What is the idea of language it makes?
What idea of women and men does the poem suggest?
