Poems, Drama, and Prose - By Kimberly Cain

Transcript


00:0-1	Good morning , boys and girls . Today I'm going
00:03	to tell you the difference between poems , plays or
00:08	dramas and pose their narratives . So the first thing
00:15	that we're going to look at today is a poem
00:19	called The Tiger by William Blake . Tiger Tiger burning
00:24	bright in the forests of the night . What immortal
00:29	hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry ? Now
00:33	the basis of poems is stanzas . All of the
00:38	lines in a poem represent different stanzas of the poem
00:44	Tiger Tiger Burning Bright is one stanza . There is
00:49	also imagery usually placed within poems . So can you
00:55	picture a tiger burning bright in the middle of the
00:59	night ? It'd be like finding a tiger in the
01:01	middle of the forest , and poems are usually used
01:04	to represent images . Now the second thing that we're
01:08	going to look at is a short story . Short
01:13	stories usually have a setting characters and some dialogue within
01:19	the story itself . So today we're going to read
01:24	a little bit of a town mouse in a country
01:26	mouse . A town mouse and a country mouse were
01:29	friends . The country mouse one day invited his friend
01:32	to come and see him at his home in the
01:34	fields . The town mouse came , and they sat
01:36	down to a dinner of barley corns and routes ,
01:39	the latter of which had a distinctly earthly flavor .
01:43	This part is the setting they're telling you where the
01:47	story is taking place . As well as introducing two
01:50	of the characters . You can assume that these two
01:53	characters are going to be the main point of the
01:57	story . The flavor was not much the taste of
02:01	the guest , and presently he broke out with my
02:05	poor dear friend . You live here no better than
02:08	ants . Now you should just see how I fare
02:11	. My larder is a regular horn of plenty .
02:13	You must come and stay with me , and I
02:15	promise you shall live on the fat of the land
02:18	. The quotation marks have dialogue in between them .
02:23	Dialogue is when a character in a short story is
02:26	speaking . Poems usually don't have dialogue . That's a
02:31	really big difference between these two . Both of them
02:33	can contain imagery , but the main point of a
02:37	poem is to get the image across . Where is
02:40	the main point of the story ? Usually has a
02:41	moral at the bottom . You'll see that if you
02:44	were to read the rest of the story . The
02:46	moral that you would get its safety is the first
02:48	importance . The second thing we're going to look at
02:52	today is a play . The play that we're looking
02:56	at is called Andrew Pools and the Lion by Peter
02:59	Bond . Now , the first part of a play
03:03	usually has the different characters set out . This is
03:06	so you know how many participants will need when you
03:09	go to actually act out . The play stories and
03:13	poems usually aren't acted out , but plays that is
03:17	the main point . So after you have all of
03:21	your characters , you can move on to the actual
03:24	play . Ah , place set up so that you
03:29	have a stage layout . So if you look at
03:33	this one , it says outside a hut belonging to
03:36	an trickles and his mother intern Arita , right ,
03:38	he remains on stage throughout . So this shows you
03:42	that the play will be taking place outside a hut
03:47	that belongs to in dribbles . So the stage would
03:50	look like it was outside of a hut . And
03:54	then you also have stage directions when it says internationaler
03:58	right ? This means the narrator at that point would
04:01	enter the stage to the right , and with him
04:04	remaining on stage throughout , it means that he just
04:06	doesn't change if you look at the name . Narrator
04:11	, you see that there are Cohen's and then some
04:14	speech plays . They're usually set out to where you
04:17	have the name of a character that's talking . And
04:19	then what they say . For instance , the narrator
04:22	here , since back in the days of the Emperor
04:24	Nero , there lived a rather unlikely hero , a
04:27	man who loved the birds and bees , a man
04:29	whose name was in draw , please and delicate .
04:32	He's lived with his mom , helping her on their
04:34	tiny farm , and it's his mother bustles and stage
04:37	left holding a pitchfork or other farm implement . Therefore
04:41	, at that point in time , the mother would
04:43	enter through the stage left plays always have your dialogue
04:50	or the character , then your dialogue and then stage
04:53	directions , if necessary , someplace will have more stage
04:56	directions and others . Some of them are meant to
04:59	be put up by the director . It just depends
05:03	. So for a quick review , poems usually show
05:09	imagery . Stories typically have a moral , and dramas
05:15	are set up to be acted out Can you find
05:20	poems , short stories or plays toe ? Look at
05:24	and act out . Would you be ableto tell the
05:27	difference yet ? So the questions you should ask yourself
05:30	five boys and girls .
