Poems that tell a story:

Narrative and Persona in the Poetry of Robert Frost

Introduction

Students will learn the meaning of narrative and persona, in order to draw inferences about a poems speaker, based on evidence in the poem. We will do this through the context of the poetry of Robert Frost, in order to write narratives and inferences in a journal that will explore inferences about Frost as a writer, and then next for the next week, perform a group reading of the poetry. Through this exercise, students will be better equipt to make literary conclusions about a speakers’ character and motive to support said inferences.

 

UEN Core Standards: RL.6.6: Explain how an author develops the point of view of the narrator or speaker in a text.
