Six Poems: Five with Icarus & One with Daedalus

In your packet you have six poems that make use of the Daedalus-Icarus myth. All of the poems are modern but none of them use the myth in quite the same way.

Read all six poems and take notes using one of the three methods you learned earlier in the year:
SOAPSTone + Theme, TPCAST + Theme, or say-play-imply. (Use each method at least once.)

Speaker
Occasion
Audience
Purpose
Subject
Tone
Theme

Title
Paraphrase
Connotation
Attitude (theme)
Shift
Title again
Theme

Say (What does the poem literally say?)
Play (How does the poem play with language?)
Imply (What does the saying and playing imply?)

Tomorrow you'll use your notes in class. You won't be able to participate in the class work if your notes are not complete.
