****Not my best work today. I think my brain melted around the 11 minute mark. I made a mistake when correcting the poem analysis question. I should have written that each stanza is organized as such. Line 1: 7 syllables, Line 2: 6 syllables, Line 3: 9 syllables, Line 4: 6 syllables.*****
Motif:Â a distinctive feature or dominant idea in an artistic or literary composition.
When we think distinctive and dominant this mean that a motif MUST be easily recognizable in a Poem. If it isn’t easily recognizable then it is not a motif.

Hi Everyone. I hope you had some “fun” watching my lecture. I understand it was pretty boring and long. I will try and up the production value in the future. Now that you all have had a bit of review on poetic devices it is time to try and practice some skills. Our first assignment is an easy one. Your job is to pick a song you enjoy listening to and analyse it. The assignment details are located on the word document attached. If you are having trouble with question 3, the notes for Tone are located in the Poetic Devices booklet on pg. 9. That should help you think about Tone in poetry. Again, if you have any questions please email me, or you can ask them tomorrow during our first class video meeting.
Due Date: Tuesday April 14th: Please post to class Notebook.Â

Thank you for your patience everyone. I had a few difficulties getting all the tech stuff sorted out today. I was finally able to start recording the lecture around 2pm. I am going to post all the material here and on our Teams.
Here is a link to the video. You will need to be signed into your Microsoft teams to view it on Stream. In the future I will try and upload them directly but this file is too big. I went a little long on the lecture….ooops. Do not watch it all at once. I have realized I am not a good streamer and am very boring. I need to up the production value. Constructive advice is encouraged.

Time stamp on video:
- 1:00: Hello everyone
- 2:00 Poetic Devices intro,
- 14:00: meaning of words
- 31:00: YouTube and poem analysis.
Bonus marks!!!! Accurately counting how many times I say K or OK. (1 mark to first person who is correct) It’s terrible how much I say it. I will try to do better.
*****I need to make one correction. When I talk about Oxymoron I use bittersweet as an example. I incorrectly used it as an example for taste(which is still true :)) , it is better thought of as a oxymoron in reference to happiness. Basically when you accomplish something you wanted to do but it did not have the exact outcome you wished. A better example would be: The victory was bittersweet. *******
Here are some links that go with the video.
The “Booklet is your Poetry cheat sheet for this unit. The video clips are just two small introduction poems that I go over in the lecture.

Please check out the New Media 11 Teams I set up for us. Below (April 1st) are instructions on how to get set up. Please also check out the new tab titled Weekly Schedule on my website.
- Once in teams say hi to your fellow classmates and write a sentence or two about one thing that was memorable over the past three weeks that happened to you (no news items please). It can be literally anything. Maybe you finished a video game, or binged watch a TV show. Maybe you played a lot of board games or picked up a new hobby. Just share one thing.
- Then answer the Questionnaire in the assignments section.

I have added you all to a New Media 11 Microsoft Teams classroom. I need you all to accept my invite and join the classroom. To do this follow the instructions below:
- Log into your School Email. I sent the Invite through this.
- Find the email from Mr. Celenza and click accept. This will direct you to the New Media 11 classroom I have set up.
- You can now access this Teams classroom through your Microsoft office 365 account. You must be logged in via your school email to do this. (Sometimes students have problems accessing this as their computer is logged on via their parents or personal office 365 accounts. It will only work if you are logged on in your school account)
- You can choose to download the teams app or use the program through your browser.
- On Monday April 6th I will be in the group chat at the scheduled time that your New Media 11 class is in session. New Media 11 Block 1: 8:20-9:40am, New Media 11 Block 3: 11:07-12:26.
- Please attend the group chat scheduled at that time. All you need to do is two things:
- say hi to me and your classmates.
- and write a sentence or two about one thing that was memorable over the past three weeks that happened to you (no news items please). It can be literally anything. Maybe you finished a video game, or binged watch a TV show. Maybe you played a lot of board games or picked up a new hobby. Just share one thing. That is all that will be required of you on Monday. If everyone is able to attend we will try and set up a video chat.
For the first week things will be going slowly but once we hit our stride I have some fun ideas planned for what we can do in-class online. Thank you all for your patience at this time.
