  1. HAPPY THURSDAY!! – 2/20/14 • Bell Ringer • Write poems • Present Poems • New Lesson: How to Research Learning Goal: Effective writers are able to identify perspective in order to communicate an idea clearly. Essential Question: How are writers successful?

  2. BELL RINGER What is a Two-Voice Poem? What is the PURPOSE of a two-voice poem? How is it structured? Use our FAVORITE six-sentence paragraph structure!

  3. Write a Two-Voice Poem Your two-voice poem MUST: • Have one speaker that is a character from “Harrison Bergeron” • Have a second speaker that is a person who somehow relates to the character you choose from “Harrison Bergeron” • Be at least six lines (a total of 12 lines). TWO of which have to be lines for BOTH speakers.

  4. BELL RINGER What are some elements of dystopia in “Harrison Bergeron”?

  5. Topic Sentence: Some elements of dystopia in “Harrison Bergeron” are human misery and oppression. Support 1: George and Harrison are being oppressed by the government through the handicaps they are required to wear at all times. Elaboration 1: They are required to wear handicaps at all times in order to ensure that everyone is equal. Support 2: Human misery can also be seen in this text because people have never experienced true freedom.

  6. Elaboration 2: George has random sounds going off in his brain every twenty seconds, which never allows his mind to be free to truly think. He also has a forty pound bag of birdshot around his neck, which also keeps him from being physically free. Concluding Sentence: In conclusion, although the government wants everyone to be equal, the way that they have reached this equality is by oppressing the people and making their lives miserable.

  7. Two-Voice/Dual Voice Poem • A poem written for two people to perform/a poem that has two speakers. • Sometimes, the readers say the same thing at the same time. • For this poem, you would write from two different characters’ perspectives in the story.

  8. Two-Voice/Dual Voice Poem The purpose of this type of poem is to examine two points of view/perspectives and communicate how those perspectives compare and contrast in a poem with alternating verse.

  9. Two-Voice Poem Structure • A dual voice poem is normally structured in two columns, one for speaker one and one for speaker two. • Sometimes, dual voice poems are in three columns, the two outside columns for the speakers, and the middle column for the lines that both speakers say.
